Dozens of Russian citizens residing in Bulgaria protested in front of the Russian Cultural Information Center in Sofia. They held handmade posters with the colors of the Ukrainian flag. “I am a Russian woman and I am against Putin. Do not remain indifferent!”, “I am from Russia. I am against Putin. I am against war. I love Ukraine”, “No to war!” and other slogans were written in English and Russian.

The protest was organized by the movement “For Free Russia”. It was established in February, 2022, by Russian citizens in Bulgaria who oppose the Kremlin’s policy.
