Woman interrupts Russian TV news broadcast to protest war
An anti-war protestor ran behind a Russian news anchor and showed a sign protesting Russia’s war on Ukraine during the Russian state-run Channel One’s live broadcast on Monday.

The sign read: “Stop the war. Don’t believe propaganda. They’re lying to you here.”

Multiple journalists identified the protestor as Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor at Channel One, one of Russia’s most popular news channels.


She recorded a video beforehand, which has since gone viral, accusing the network of propaganda and apologizing that she worked there.

"Unfortunately, for the last few years I've been working for Channel One,” Ovsyannikova said in the video. “I've been doing Kremlin propaganda and I'm very ashamed of it – that I let people lie from TV screens and allowed the Russian people to be zombified."

"We didn't say anything in 2014 when it only just began. We didn't protest when the Kremlin poisoned Navalny. We just silently watched this inhuman regime. Now the whole world has turned away from us, and ten generations of our descendants won't wash off this fratricidal war,” she continued. She noted that her father was Ukrainian.

The video was originally posted by OVD-Info, a Russian human rights media project aimed at combating political persecution.

According to reports, she has already been detained by authorities.

In recent weeks, Russia has cracked down on independent media outlets. Putin introduced a new censorship law on March 4 that restricts the press from disseminating information to the public, prohibiting anyone from calling the invasion “a war.”

India eyeing discounted Russian oil: reports
India, the world's third-largest oil consumer and importer and one of the few countries not to condemn Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, currently imports 80 percent of its oil, but only about 2 percent to 3 percent of those purchases come from Russia.

"Russia is offering oil and other commodities at a heavy discount. We will be happy to take that," an Indian government official told Reuters.

According to Bloomberg, India is looking to bypass Western-imposed sanctions that would allow it to purchase cheaper oil from Russia.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told Indian Petroleum Minister Hardeep Puri in a phone call on Friday that the country is keen to increase its oil and petroleum product exports to India along with Indian investments in the Russian oil sector, according to a statement issued by Moscow.

Puri and Novak also discussed strengthening the India-Russia strategic partnership in the energy sector.

"Russia’s oil and petroleum product exports to India have approached $1 billion, and there are clear opportunities to increase this figure,” a statement from Moscow said about the telephone call.

They also discussed "current and potential joint projects in the fuel and energy industry and noted that current projects continue to be steadily implemented."

They should absolutely do it.

Sanctions were carved out to allow Russia to sell their oil to prevent worldwide recession. The US's decision to cut purchases of Russian oil was symbolic. The amount affected was a drop in the bucket. Japan hasn't cut it's purchases of oil from Russia. Europe is still buying Russian oil and gas. Longer term projects will slowly reduce dependence on Russian oil but for now, leave it be. They haven't finished fully implementing other sanctions. No need to cut ourselves while swinging the sword on Russia.

Im not sure what telegram is, but are you sure that they are actually people and not spam trolls trying to 'own the narrative'?

There may be a lot of people out there that believe these brainwashed narratives, but that doesn't mean that they are the ones shit posting it all day.
I heard from a long time ago of Telegram but haven’t installed it until today. It’s like whatsapp but crypted and i installed it just because i heard it’s the only thing russians are using as social media now. The channel of kadyrov, almost 1
Million followers, all talking non stop about how they want ukrainians dead, making fun of them, i really got scared thinking people like them exist. But i like trolling them while educating them-cause this is what they are hurt by the most, reality, cause they live in another one then us.(a little lie inserted there) but you ca see how stupid they are and this is the best reply

I would pretty much assume that it has about 500k actual followers (tops) and a whole lot of troll accounts.

He needs to save face and even though he started this; like a spoiled child. He has to get something- that is what will end this..but he's already fucked up the country so I'm angry at the notion of having to give him something. If we give him something he has to de-nuke Russia. He can't be around much longer but I'm tired of another fascist maniac.
Promise him a fair trial and no execution, that's all.
