Ukraine's president tells Russians to protest before it's too late

LVIV, Ukraine (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy appealed directly to Russians on Sunday to take to the streets in protest against the Kremlin's invasion of his country or risk their own poverty and repression.

Since last week, thousands of people in Russia have been detained for protesting against the invasion of Ukraine or what the Russian authorities call a "special military operation" that began on Feb 24.

Russians are now bracing for an uncertain and isolated future after international sanctions plunged the economy into crisis and authorities cracked down on independent media and restricted access to Facebook and other social media sites.

"Citizens of Russia! For you, this is a struggle not only for peace in Ukraine! This is a fight for your country," Zelenskiy said in a televised address, switching from Ukrainian to Russian.

Their money is worth nothing.

No shipments coming in.

The Ukraine is where their wheat comes from.

Russians are trying to leave.

Putin will give the order.

All hell will break loose

This is WW3.

May future generations learn not to allow dictators to run countries.

This is why so many left eastern Europe and came to America.

My great grandparents were facing this same thing and barely made it out alive.

They left in1886.
