Over 1,000 people participated in a demonstration in the German capital Berlin on Sunday against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Many members of the Russian opposition in exile were among the protesters, including human rights activist Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Russian opposition leader and Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.
The formerly jailed opposition politicians Ilya Yashin and Vladimir Kara-Murza also participated.
The march, which went from Potsdamer Platz to the boulevard Unter den Linden in the centre of the city, was called “No to Putin. No to the war in Ukraine. Freedom for political prisoners.”
Ukraine has been resisting an all-out 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 as part of a prisoner exchange with Western powers in August.
Navalny died in a Russian prison camp in February under unexplained circumstances.
