A live newscast of Russian’s state-run TV Channel One on Monday was interrupted by a protester who shouted “Stop the war!” and held up a hand-written sign that said “Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.”
She was later identified as Marina Ovsyannikova, a former editor at the network, according to The Guardian

Before storming the broadcast, she shared a pre-recorded video to social media in which told the Russian public: “What is going on in Ukraine now is a crime, and Russia is the aggressor. The responsibility for this aggression lies only on one person and that person is Vladimir Putin.”
Ovsyannikova, who said her father is Ukrainian and her mother is Russian, also apologized for “working on Kremlin propaganda.”
“Unfortunately, I have been working at Channel One during recent years, working on Kremlin propaganda, and now I am very ashamed. I’m ashamed that I’ve allowed the lies to be said on Tv screens. I am ashamed that I let the Russian people be zombified.”
