Thousands of Russians on Sunday, marched through Moscow to protest Kremlin’s involvement in the Ukraine crisis, in the country’s first major anti-war rally since fighting erupted in April. It was also one of the largest rallies since President Vladimir Putin returned to the presidency in 2012. A huge column of protesters moved through the heart of the capital to condemn Moscow’s role in a conflict that has claimed nearly 3,000 lives and pitted Russians against Ukrainians. Some chanted “Peace to Ukraine, freedom to Russia, jail for Putin”. Others were armed with placards saying “Forgive us, Ukraine” and “Putin, stop lying.” Participants said the Russian president should pull troops out of Ukraine and stop meddling in the affairs of the fellow Slavic country. The rally, dubbed “The Peace March,” came amid a Russian media blackout on the presence of Russian troops in Ukraine.
