Ukraine war: Brave female TV editor wields 'Stop the War' sign on Russian state TV before arrest
A brave Russian woman ran onto live state TV news with a sign protesting Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor on the Russian TV channel Pervyi Kanal (Channel One), held up a sign on the broadcaster's main evening news show, Vremya, that said: 'Stop the war! Don't believe propaganda! They're lying to you here! Russians against war.'
Channel One was the first station to broadcast in the Russian Federation after the fall of the Soviet Union and has more than 250 million viewers across the world.
The news anchor carried on speaking before producers quickly cut to a news report to stop Ms Ovsyannikova revealing the truth about Putin's war.
Ms Ovsyannikova has a Ukrainian father and said before her actions today that she was ashamed to be peddling the Kremlin's lies.
She said: 'What's happening in Ukraine is a crime and Russia is the aggressor.
'The responsibility for this aggression lies with one man: Vladimir Putin.
'My father is Ukrainian, my mother is Russian and they were never enemies.
'Unfortunately, for the last few years I've been working for Channel One.
'I've been doing Kremlin propaganda and I'm very ashamed of it – that I let people lie from TV screens and allowed the Russian people to be zombified.
'We didn't say anything in 2014 when it only just began.
'We didn't protest when the Kremlin poisoned Navalny.
