Protester interrupts live Russian state news broadcast to denounce invasion of Ukraine
CNN
A woman holding a sign reading "NO WAR" interrupted a live news broadcast on Russian state television Monday to denounce Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"Stop the war. Do not believe propaganda they tell you lies here," the sign reads. "Russians against war," the last line of the sign says in English.
The woman who carried out the bold act of defiance was identified as Maria Ovsyannikova, an employee of Russia Channel One, according to OVD-Info, an independent human rights protest-monitoring group. The outlet's content is tightly controlled by the Russian government.
Attorney General Merrick Garland is expected to slam the “repeated attacks” and “conspiracy” theories floated by Republicans about the Justice Department being weaponized against former President Donald Trump during his opening statements to Congress on Tuesday, according to prepared remarks shared with CNN.
