Marina Ovsyannikova told international media that she remains patriotic to her country even as she fears severe repercussions for her on-air protest.
Speaking from hiding, the Channel One editor said she would not accept an offer of asylum from French President Emmanuel Macron.Marina Ovsyannikova is seen here giving a statement recorded before she held up an anti-war sign live on air.Marina Ovsyannikova, the Russian journalist who protested the war in Ukraine on live state TV, has told international media that she remains patriotic to her country and refuses to leave, even as she fears severe repercussions from authorities.
The editor at Russia's state-owned Channel One made headlines last week after intercepting a live news broadcast holding a sign denouncing the aggression in Ukraine and shouting "stop the war." by a Russian court for a video she recorded before the on-air protest, which shows her decrying her own role in broadcasting "Kremlin propaganda." But Ovsyannikova said she worries there may be worse consequences to come.
Ovsyannikova, who is half Ukrainian and half Russian, has not yet been subject to further charges. She said she thinks she would have been immediately subject to 15 days of detention if she didn't have children — a son, 17, and a daughter, 11 — but still she is "very worried" for their future.
