'It's Putin's war, not [the] Russian people's war': Russian anti-war journalist
ABC News
The Russian anti-war editor appeared on ABC's "This Week" Sunday.
Russian people do not support Russia's actions in Ukraine, Marina Ovsyannikova, the Russian journalist who made headlines after staging an anti-war protest on live TV, said Sunday, branding the unprovoked invasion "Putin's war."
"It's Putin's war, not [the] Russian people's war," Ovsyannikova told ABC "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos in her first interview with an American broadcast network.
Ovsyannikova ran onto the set of the main Russian state news live broadcast last Monday with an anti-war sign to protest Russia's invasion of Ukraine, standing behind a Channel One anchor as they were speaking.
The sign read, "NO WAR," and "Don't believe the propaganda. They're lying to you here," in English and Russian, respectively.
