LONDON, March 16 — A Russian woman who burst into a state TV studio to denounce the Ukraine war during a live news bulletin told Reuters today she was worried for her safety and hoped her protest would open Russians’ eyes to propaganda.
“I believe in what I did but I now understand the scale of the problems that I’ll have to deal with, and, of course, I’m extremely concerned for my safety,” Ovsyannikova said. Ukraine and the West dismiss that justification as a false pretext for an invasion of a sovereign country. Reuters submitted a written request on Wednesday to ask the interior ministry for further comment on her case and whether legal proceedings had been closed.
