Tens of Thousands Protest Putin in Far Eastern Russia for Third Week

HeadlineJul 27, 2020

In Russia, tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets for the third straight weekend in the Far Eastern city of Khabarovsk. Demonstrators are calling for President Vladimir Putin to resign, and for an end to corruption and economic inequality.

In other news from Russia, President Putin said he is arming the Navy with hypersonic nuclear weapons and underwater nuclear drones, as fears of a new nuclear arms race have been mounting following Trump’s withdrawal from the INF Treaty last year.
