More than a thousand people took part in a demonstration in the German capital Berlin on Sunday against Russian President Vladimir Putin and the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The demonstrators included many members of the Russian opposition in exile, including human rights activist Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Russian opposition leader and Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.
Former jailed opposition politicians Ilya Yashin and Vladimir Kara-Murza also took part.
The march, which walked from Potsdamer Platz to the Unter den Linden boulevard in the city center, was called ‘No to Putin. No to the war in Ukraine. Freedom for political prisoners.’
Ukraine has been resisting a large-scale Russian invasion for more than two and a half years, with Western support.
Yashin and Kara-Murza were sentenced to long prison terms in Russia for their anti-war stance and were deported from their home country in August as part of a prisoner swap with Western powers.
Navalny died in February under unexplained circumstances in a Russian prison camp.
