“I am fighting against Putin’s regime and against the war. And I think that these are interconnected things. My husband, Alexei Navalny, fought against Putin and against the war, and was killed in prison for it. He used every court hearing against him, including the one on February 24, 2022, as a platform for an anti-war speech. That’s what I said. And she also said that we have only one enemy. And Ukrainians do not need to invent an enemy in the face of the Russian opposition,” Navalny noted.
In the middle of Navalny’s speech, a group of Ukrainian conference participants staged an action. Activists turned on the air siren and started shouting in English “Stop Russia” and “Stop the war”. The organizers of the flash mob stated: the purpose of the action was to remind the participants of the conference about the war in Ukraine and the inadmissibility of inviting citizens of the aggressor country to international conferences.
A Ukrainian woman who took the stage asked Navalna if she supports the Russian war against Ukraine, and reminded that Russia attacks Ukraine every day, killing Ukrainians (as an example, it launched a missile attack on Kryvyi Rih on November 11, which killed three children). According to the activists, Navalna “never dared to accuse Russia of attacking Ukraine, repeating again and again that she is against Putin’s regime and talking about her husband Oleksii Navalny.

And in fact, the whole of Russia and every Russian is to blame. That is why representatives of a terrorist country have no place on international platforms,” commented the flash mob participant of Web Summit-2024 blogger Inna Yarova.
A significant part of the Russian opposition prefers to separate the Russian people and the war that Russia is waging against Ukraine, calling it “Putin’s war” and the Russian army – “Putin’s”.
According to the data of a sociological survey released earlier in November, more than three quarters of Russians (76%) expressed their support for the actions of the Russian armed forces in Ukraine.
