Thousands of Russians today marched through Moscow to protest against the Kremlin's involvement in the Ukraine crisis, in the country's first major anti-war rally since fighting erupted in April.
A massive column of protesters including prominent opposition activists, many holding the blue-and-yellow flag of Ukraine, were moving through central Moscow, an AFP correspondent said. One of the organisers of the march, Sergei Davidis, said "tens of thousands" showed up.
