Woman who interrupted TV show to slam Putin's war shares daring escape from Russia

A Russian TV editor who interrupted a broadcast to call out Vladimir Putin about his war in Ukraine has shared her terrifying ordeal to escape her homeland after she became a marked woman.

Marina Ovsyannikova, 44, who was born in Ukraine, made headlines a year ago when she stood in front of Channel One cameras with a placard that read: "NO WAR. STOP THE WAR. DO NOT BELIEVE THE PROPAGANDA. THEY'RE LYING TO YOU HERE. RUSSIANS AGAINST WAR."
