Russia Ukraine Conflict: Anti-war protester interrupts Russian state TV news broadcast

For much of the day, mystery surrounded the whereabouts of the journalist who briefly took over the main Russian TV news programme last night.

Around 12 million viewers were getting their nightly TV dose of war the way the Kremlin sees it, then one of their own team said the unsayable and wrote the unwritable.

She was arrested, fined and released, but could she be facing more charges later?

Marina Ovsyannikova is a HERO!!!! Amazing bravery - look at these strong, amazing women leaders standing up to power knowing they will personally suffer for their bravery and commitment to the truth.

Triumphant are those who risk their Lives to Speak Up. Be safe & protected young woman. The World is your Witness.

Incredible respect given to this lady, the clock is ticking though and you will get punished in time by the
Putin's team
If enough people do this surely Putin has to listen but I don't think you can reason with someone who is taking everything you have, keep fighting Ukraine

[Lestat]

Now she's probably in prison for 15 years. Brave person.

Absolutely fenomenal, REAL brave human being! Well deserved place in history textbooks (just like all the other courageous protesters there👏) ✌

Bursting the Russian propaganda bubble must be a top priority - more important than sanctions and as important as arms supplies to Ukraine. The Russian people must be free to make up their own minds based on all the facts.

Hats off to all those brave Russians standing up to Adolf Putin and the fourth reich

[melindabraun]

this woman is a true hero.
maybe she is the spark that is takes for the Russians to free themselves and the world of their Tyrant, so that we finally can be friends.

Remains a mystery how she got away with a fine given the severity of her actions...

[mandelorean]

History is waiting for a martyr even more famous, impactful than tank man

[Astaroth_Belial]

These Russians are setting an example for all of us trying to resist oppression. Civil disobedience is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal against the ruling class.

More Power to these women & the People… In Russia!!!!Keep-up Protests. They don’t have room for all.

[st-siva]

Good job. But I wonder she's ok now.

[HanyuRapui]

Protester : they dont have room for all of us!
Stalin reincarnate : "hold my gulag"

[fernanmontevista]
