Kira Yarmysh, spokeswoman for jailed Russian opposition figurehead Alexei Navalny, has urged women across the country to use Tuesday's International Women's Day to demand an end to Russia's war on Ukraine.
"I call on all women to take to the streets at 2 p.m. tomorrow and demand an end to the war," she tweeted. "Not because women have some special role in bringing peace. But because we know too well what price we have to pay for this war. And we have to stop it."
