Clever way Russians 'protest the war' in Ukraine as police crackdown on protests

Russians protesting the war have been risking a lot in their bid to send a powerful anti-war message to Putin and his cronies, after he invaded Ukraine more than two weeks ago

Peaceful anti-war protesters have had to come up with subtle ways to express their displeasure.

Protesters who are arrested risk up to 15 years in prison, after the Kremlin passed a law on March 4 criminalising anti-war demos.

Almost 15,000 anti-war protesters have been detained since the invasion started, Ovd-info reports.

Shocking photos show police in full-riot gear hauling citizens away, as part of a crackdown against peaceful campaigns.

On TikTok, one Russian woman showed how everyday citizens have reportedly sent a message to Putin and his cronies after he invaded Ukraine.

The 33-year-old has kept people updated with daily videos recording everyday life for citizens in the country.

She shared a Sunday in Saint-Petersburg, which features people milling about and enjoying the winter sunshine - which has not been verified by the Mirror.

But unlike a normal weekend, there are lines of police snaking down the road outside public buildings.

And as the woman enters the subway, you can see a man holding up a sign - although we cannot see what it says.

A man can be seen grasping a number of green ribbons - and one can be seen affixed to a lamppost.

A few seconds later, the camera user shows one found tied to a handrail.

According to commenters, the green ribbons are being used to show support for Ukraine - but were previously used as part of a mental health campaign.

After one follower asked why the ribbons were being handed out, one follower replied: "Ukraine flag is blue and yellow.

"The 2 colours make green. It’s a silent way Russians can protest and show Ukraine they support them & want no war."

Another commented: "Green ribbons. Blue and yellow make green. This is frightening. Everywhere you look. I cannot imagine."

A third wrote: "Nice touch with the green! Much respect to the people who try to stand up to the war."

戦争反対を示しているグリーン・リボンです。また、文中にあるようにブルーと黄色を混ぜるとグリーンになる(ウクライナ国旗に由来)との説明も説得力があります。

いずれにしても、ロシアの独裁政治体制は看過出来ません。プーチンの野望は打ち砕きましょう。その手法は、ロシア国民が自ら蜂起することです。イースターライジングを期待しましょうか・・・。
