In Moscow protesting to oppose Putin's war, Russian state television publishes nothing

More than 6,400 Russians have been arrested in the protests since President Vladimir Putin's troops invaded Ukraine. They're opposing the Russian invasion, but the state television doesn't publish anything about it.

By Tuesday morning in Moscow, more than 1 million signatures had been added to a Russian-language petition of Chang.org against the war in Ukraine.

On the streets of Moscow, police vans roam most of the main intersections, riot-ready police officers are standing on sidewalks and the famous Pushkin Square, which once was the location of protesters, is now surrounded by a large metal barricade.

What is happening is a very clear and open opposition to Putin's rule. However, the government warns that the cost of exiting the protest could be “arresting” and “entering the criminal registry” that leaves traces in the person's future.
