A protester on Monday interrupted a news broadcast on Russia state television, yelling over the anchor while holding a sign that condemned the war against Ukraine.

The outburst occurred on the Channel One network, and the woman who stormed the stage has been identified as Marina Ovsyannikova, an employee of the station. Before she staged her public protest, Ovsyannikova recorded a video message. In it, she said that her father is Ukrainian and that she's ashamed of working for a Kremlin propaganda outlet.

Russian state media has been pushing messages that are staunchly supportive of Russian President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine. The outlets have supported the debunked claims of Russian officials of Ukraine producing bioweapons in laboratories, as well as baseless claim that far-right Ukrainian forces are hiding behind civilians and that the military operations have gone according to plan for the Kremlin, among other things.

The messages written on Ovsyannikova's sign read: "No war," "Stop the war," "Don't believe the propaganda," "They are lying to you here," and "Russians against war."
