Philip Kireev: “The police dispersed the anti-war rally at the Ukrainian Embassy in Moscow”

“From Pushkinskaya, people headed to the Ukrainian Embassy, ​​it was a five-minute walk. I, and probably everyone who was there with cameras, thought that there would now be a dispersal and the police would stop the unauthorized march, but that was not the case. There was on Tverskaya there were a lot of paddy wagons, but no one touched anyone, everyone was allowed to calmly walk to the embassy.

There was very little space at the embassy. Firstly, near the embassy itself there were barriers, everyone had to jostle on the small sidewalk opposite, and secondly, the police took up a lot of space. Then she cordoned off the sidewalk and did not allow anyone onto the roadway."
