The wording in the clip:

“What is happening now in Ukraine is a crime.

And Russia is the aggressor.

And the responsibility for this aggression lies only on the conscience of one person - and that person is Vladimir Putin.

My father is Ukrainian, my mother is Russian - and they were never enemies.

This chain on my neck is like a symbol that Russia must stop the fratricidal war immediately and that our brother peoples can still be reconciled.

Unfortunately, in recent years I have worked at Channel One and dealt with Kremlin propaganda.

I am very ashamed of it now.

I am ashamed that I allowed the TV screen to lie to me.

I am ashamed that I allowed Russians to be turned into zombies.

We were silent in 2014 when this all started.

We didn't come out for demonstrations when the Kremlin poisoned Navalny.

We just silently watched this misanthropic regime.

Now the whole world has turned its back on us.

And ten more generations of our descendants will not be able to wash away the shame of this fratricidal war.

We, the Russian people, can think and are smart.

It's up to us to stop all this madness.

Go demonstrate.

fear nothing.

You can't lock us all up."

War protest on state TV under Putin: TV channel speaks of "incident"

In a statement, the first Russian television channel only spoke of an “incident” during the “Vremya” program and announced an “internal review”.

According to the Tass news agency, the young woman could be prosecuted for "discrediting the use of the Russian armed forces".

In Russia, the media is forbidden from calling the Russian invasion of Ukraine a “war” or an “invasion.”

Instead, there is official talk of a "military special operation".

The Russian parliament recently passed a law providing for up to 15 years in prison for spreading "false news" about the military.

The Ukraine-Russia negotiations are to be continued on Tuesday, March 15, and an EU trio is also traveling directly to embattled Kyiv.
