Russia's Opposition Holds Peace March For Ukraine -- Voice of America
MOSCOW - Opposition activists and anti-war demonstrators marched in the Russian capital Sunday, urging peace in Ukraine and an end to Russia's military support for separatists, even though the Kremlin denies backing the rebels.
Organizers of the march said over 50,000 people took the streets in Moscow, but police claimed the number was exaggerated, putting it instead at 5,000.
It was for the second time this year that Russians demanded the Kremlin end what activists see as its military actions in Ukraine. But many of the marchers want more than just peace in Ukraine, they also want political change in Russia.
Peace march participant Daniel says he hates to see President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin elite engaging in what he calls "destructive political activities."
