Vladimir putin’s war in Ukraine is not going as planned on the ground. And even back home, the Russian autocrat is facing mounting resistance. On the first day of the invasion more than 1,300 people were arrested in anti-war protests in 51 Russian cities, according to OVD-info, a human-rights group. That number has now swollen to 5,959. Even more are taking their protests online. The hashtag “#нетвойне”, Russian for “no war”, started trending soon after Russian troops rolled into Ukraine.
These protest-posts already number in the hundreds of thousands. On Instagram, some 50,000 pictures with the anti-war hashtag were posted between February 26th and 27th alone and now total over 330,000—already 10% of the total number reached by #MeToo posts, which first went viral in 2017. (Twitter does not provide comparable statistics.)
To assess the geographical extent of this opposition, The Economist constructed a dataset of 51,773 unique posts from Twitter and Instagram that used the hashtag. Of these we were able to identify the geographic location of 7,120, of which 3,495 were marked as posted from within Russia. We found anti-war posts coming from Russia’s 50 largest cities, across all 11 time zones and in 83 out of 85 federal subjects (ie, regions, such as oblasts and republics). Abroad, the Russian-language hashtag was found in 91 other countries, including Ukraine, Belarus, America and China.
Those joining the movement have ranged from the country’s leading chess and tennis players to the daughter of Mr Putin’s own spokesman, Dmitry Peskov. Ivan Urgant, the host of a popular talk-show on Channel One, Russia’s main broadcaster, saw his programme taken off the air after he used the hashtag on Instagram (the channel claims this was because of a scheduling problem).
The Russian authorities have responded by tightening their grip on the internet. Access to Meta’s platforms have been restricted after Facebook refused to stop the independent fact-checking of Russian state-owned news content. Netblocks, an internet-monitoring group, also found that access to Twitter had been restricted in Russia by the morning of February 26th.
Even on these platforms, and others, such as Telegram and TikTok, fear of reprisals probably leads to a degree of self-censorship. The regime has been known to use facial-recognition software to identify and harass protesters. Some victims of this have said the authorities found their pictures on social media. The true force of opposition to Mr Putin’s war is unknown.
frowland: I don’t know where you guys are, but the day I visited a friend in Ukraine 2016, I asked him ‘what da hell are you doing here’?. Mehn! those guys are racist to a fault. You will eat as if you are in a zoo. You can’t share bar with them, even a train ride na wahala. I wonder what you guys see in that country with the kind of support I see for them here in NL. Maybe from uninformed folks. I don’t blame some of you though. Most are just against Russia just because they are America’s number one enemy. (The enemy of my enemy scenario). But fuc’k Ukrain and their racism’ Mehn! To be honest, I no fit support that country. They are on their own.

Is it south Africans that loves you, abi na Moroccans, Indians, Chinese or who? You reason like a crab just like the mad man Putin
[quote author=CaptainFM1 post=110673597]I've been thinking if the tables were to turn? Imagine if Russia is piling up armed forces in Mexico...next to America
I'm sure, America too would have invade Mexico. What I'm not sure off is, if we will be supporting Mexico the way we are supporting Ukraine.
Truth, is there's a genuine security risk that Ukraine poses to Russia, especially with the presence of American and NATO alied forces entering that region.
I guess Putin doesn't want the present Russia to disintegrate like the old Soviet Union. Sometimes pre-emptive actions are very important to stem the tide.
On Putin side, I stand. If Nairaland like, they can sanction me join. Thou shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.[control] .
EU should stop funding this war with their hypocrisy and is there any agreement with Russia to transfer Russia made planes to Ukraine?
I said it here earlier that the West is in a tearing race to re arm Ukraine and resupply it with military hardwares because of the effective demilitarisation of Ukraine and the elimination of almost all Ukraine military hardwares, including over 300 tanks and armored vehicles, 30+ aircrafts with most sitting duck, and 29+command centres, bringing to a total of 1211 military infrastructures destroyed by the Russia military.
Why the need to restock Ukraine if not wanting to prolong this conflict.
Well Russia still controls the Ukrainian airspace and is unbothered by some obsolete 2nd generation fighters.
.
Tell that lunatic called Putin to bomb any NATO country if he gots balls
Esseite: You are reading too much western propaganda, Russians are going about their businesses, sponsored protests are normal when you have EU nations with embassies in russia.
.
Ya the new language now is Western propaganda against sweet lovely Putin Better receive sense and start watching Chinese Global TV Network for brain resetting
foryourmindlol: They will overthrow Putin. His problem is internal not even external. When you're fighting war and your whole country is protesting and your senior leaders are resigning and showing displeasure. There will be a coup definitely.
Esseite: With which Airspace?... you have blocked Russian bound planes, but want US bound planes to leave. Well, except they want to go through the "corners"..
Putin should not stand down, he is only protecting his people and borders, we are here screaming putin, ordinary someone with dreadlocks and shredded Jean's moves next door to your house, "you don already call full estate meeting on security"...today Nigeria is battling enemies from Niger and Chad while you think russia wants that in the near future. the media propaganda frenzy of the west is beginning to tilt becaue the veil of truth and hypocrisy is gaining traction which the west knows...
God-speed putin..

This man that is quarter to die, he will die at the hands of his people
smallsmall: Jokers like you are the reason White people laugh at Africans. You dont have your own brain, yo cant use your own sense, you just regurgitate what Western Media says, like a Muumu. Only an IGNORANT Fool will call Putin a Coward. Joke aside., mention one President of any Country in this World, that is as strong and can take on Putin, one-on-one! Putin is the person any World leader WISH to be like but CANT be like.
Putin is the Honorary President of the World Judo federation (until yesterday when America prevailed on the body to suspend him). You think as a Black belt, National Champion Judoka, National Chess Champion, etc, show me one President or all these weak world leaders that can stand him? They only run their Mouths on TV, many Miles away from him. Let them come within arms-length and call him a Coward to his face.
.
I have never seen a fool like you until this moment, never imagine something like you ever existed
Unless you fight karate you are no strong man, if he has balls and not a born coward let him challenge the man he tried to kill with nerve gas in an open free and fair election and let see who wins Instead of him using guns and according to you his black belt to claim president for life like many primitive Africans leaders do.
Let me remind you again, your brain is sawdust. Go and get small sense and stop disgracing your father
Is it not your useless greedy ancestors that sold their brothers, sisters, mothers cousins to the Europeans for ordinary tobacco, pieces of materials etc Was it the Europeans who entered our villages and kidnapped our people or we ourselves?
Even when they stopped slave trade Jaja of Opobo and some Yoruba Chief still continue in slave trade until they were exiled. Even till this moment your people are still using canoes to cross to Europe to continue as slaves?
Mumu like you still de blame the west for slavery when our fathers were as useless as anything to themselves and til this moment still running to Europe and not to Russia
You de use singing with blacks de fan yourself, don't worry if the Russians can kill themselves like Stanlin and Lenin did with no mercy while sending others to Siberia pack your family and rush down there your infinite piece of dumb shit
hammer567: Putin na my guy, we dont give warning before attack.
We attack like lions, ambush style.
.
Ambush style like Japan started with America Germany started with Britain Former Soviets Union started with the West Laslas all crumbled like a pack of Biscuit to Almighty USA and Britain
No be who first report case de win, Freedom will always win
InoGetJoy: Putin doesn't want to destroy Ukraine like Western media want u to believe. Even before this whole thing started, Putin has been inviting Ukraine to the negotiation table to US and NATO kept egging Ukraine on. If Russia wants to level Ukraine, it won't take them anything. The Ukrainians and Russians share a common ancestry, and if Ukraine is destroyed it'll also have a negative effect on Russia. Ukrainian President is being foolish, but people seem to be seeing it as bravery
.
They don't like you must you force them? Why are they attracted to America and not to their next door neighbor?
Ukrainians existed and longer than Rus and they don't see themselves as one
