Russian opposition holds anti-war march in Berlin
The event's participants are calling for Russia's withdrawal from Ukraine, the release of #political #prisoners, and to try Putin as a #WarCriminal, Deutsche Welle reported.
The event, which had been planned in advance, took place the same day as #Russia launched one of its largest strikes on Ukrainian cities and the energy grid, killing and injuring civilians.
While the German police estimated the initial number of participants to be 1,800, the independent news outlet Meduza counted up to 6,000-7,000 people
