Russian police have arrested thousands of anti-war protesters, after President Putin's draft of reserve forces. Armed forces detained over 1.300 Russian civilians in almost 39 cities.
The Russian human rights group OVD, confirms that they arrested 500 in Moscow and just less than this in St. Petersburg.
Russian law enforcement took another 50 into custody in Yekaterinburg the fourth largest city in Russia.
The mass protests were in reaction to a rare televised public address, during which Putin declared on calling up 3.000 Russian reservists, though no conscripts to undo Russia's recent setback in the war in Ukraine, particularly the embarrassment of having to withdraw from the formerly occupied places in the country's north-eastern region.
