A former Russian state television journalist famous for her on-air protest against the war in Ukraine has escaped house arrest, she confirmed today on camera.
In her first remarks since fleeing pretrial house arrest earlier this week, Marina Ovsyannikova said she considers herself “completely innocent” and accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of destroying the Ukrainian people and Russia ’s male population.
In a written post alongside the video, Ms Ovsyannikova said that she was freeing herself from the two-month house arrest that was imposed by a Moscow court in August.
