Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin has been badly entrenched in his own country after invading Ukraine. Putin's fierce opposition has begun in his own home. According to the news agency, protests against Putin is taking place in 54 Russian cities, in which more than 1,700 people have been detained by the police. As soon as Putin declared war on Ukraine, opposition to it on social media in Russia also began. 

Since Thursday morning, people on social media have been criticizing Putin's decision. The Russians call it the largest attack since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin is calling it a military action, not an attack. Putin says he is doing so to protect the people of eastern Ukraine from the "genocide." Moscow activist Tatyana Usmanova wrote on Facebook that she was dreaming of all this, but was stunned when she saw the news of the attack on Ukraine at 5.30 a.m. 

She said that this insult will now always be with us. She wrote in her post, "I want to apologize to the people of Ukraine. We shouldn't have voted for the one who started the war." Russian citizens are writing an open letter to Putin to stop the attack on Ukraine, as well as signing an online petition.
