Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has called on Russians around the world to protest President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, issuing tweets saying that people must not just “be against the war” but they must also “fight against” it.
“We — Russia — want to be a nation of peace. Alas, few people would call us that now,” Navalny said Tuesday in a message posted by a spokesperson on his Twitter account. He urged people to take to the streets and head to Russian embassies in their countries to oppose what he called “the aggressive war against Ukraine unleashed by our obviously insane czar.”
“It’s the third decade of the 21st century, and we are watching news about people burning down in tanks and bombed houses,” he tweeted to his 2.7 million followers, urging them to take a stand against the Russian government. “We are watching real threats to start a nuclear war on our TVs.”— Alexey Navalny
“Each arrested person must be replaced by two newcomers,” he continued, citing the risks that Russians face when protesting against Putin.
