Panic and chaos have created disorder in Russian cities. The jailed main opponent of Putin, Alexei Navalny said in a video statement during his court case, "This will result in a massive tragedy, in a massive amount of deaths." He further added, "In order to keep his personal power, Putin is tormenting a neighbouring country, killed people there and now is sending a huge quantity of Russian citizens into this war."
Navalny also called Russia-Ukraine war a "Criminal war." Opposition called for protest all over Russia after Putin signed the order of partial mobilisation of 300,000 reservists for the ongoing war. This is the first mobilization ever since the world war II battle between Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
As the partial mobilization comes into effect immediately, the citizens of Russia fear that more such mobilization could be ordered in the future that could cost more lives in this war. They are protesting while chanting a slogan, "No to War."
