More than 3,000 Russians have been detained for holding anti-war protests since President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine three days ago, an independent monitor said on Saturday.
"In the last 3 days, at least 3,052 people were arrested," the independent OVD-info monitor that keeps tracks of arrests during protests said on Twitter. It said 467 people were arreted in 34 cities on Saturday alone, reports AFP.
