In Russia, student blogger Dmitry Ivanov has been sentenced to over eight years in prison for being critical of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Ivanov addressed reporters from the courtroom.
Dmitry Ivanov: “You must understand that Russia is not Putin. We didn’t vote for him, and he didn’t ask us about starting this war with our closest neighbor. I know that tens of millions of people here in Russia are against this criminal war. A lot of us have friends and relatives in Ukraine, and we feel their pain.”
