The extraordinary act of dissent took place on day 19 of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
LONDON: An anti-war protester interrupted a live news bulletin on Russia`s state TV Channel One on Monday, holding up a sign behind the studio presenter and shouting slogans denouncing the war in Ukraine.
The sign, in English and Russian, read: "NO WAR. Stop the war. Don`t believe propaganda. They are lying to you here." Another phrase, which looked like "Russians against war", was partly obscured.
The extraordinary act of dissent took place on day 19 of the war which began when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 in what he called a special military operation.
"Stop the war. No to war," the woman protester could be heard shouting, as the news anchor continued to read from her teleprompter.
The protester could be seen and heard for several seconds before the channel switched to a different report to remove her from the screen.
