A group of wives, mothers, and children of mobilized Russian soldiers deployed in their country’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine protested outside the Defense Ministry in Moscow, with an unspecified number of detentions reported.
The protest in the Russian capital on September 21 coincided with the date two years ago when Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on a partial mobilization.
The group reportedly was demanding a meeting with Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov, as well as a demobilization.
At one point, the protesters, numbering about two dozen, were confronted by a group hurling abuse and trying to disperse them.
