Navalny’s widow calls on demonstrators during march in Berlin not to stop protests

The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has urged thousands of supporters marching through central Berlin to continue their protests against President Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine, the BBC writes.

“One protest alone won’t change anything. We need to keep coming out,” Yulia Navalnaya said, at the first rally she and other prominent opposition figures have led since leaving Russia.

During the protest, the participants chanted “no to war” and “Putin is a killer” in Russian.

The opposition says it has three main demands – the “immediate withdrawal” of troops from Ukraine, the trial of Putin as a “war criminal” and the liberation of all political prisoners in Russia.
