A woman wielding a sign saying "no war" and other messages ambushed a live television broadcast on Russia's Channel One - as producers scrambled to cut her off.
Newsreader Ekaterina Andreeva was delivering her evening bulletin before the demonstrator began chanting and telling viewers not the believe "propaganda". It comes as Russia cracks down on independent media outlets in the country which have reported the Kremlin's stalled war and large losses in Ukraine.
The woman charged into the Channel One studio at the Ostankino Technical Center in Moscow to speak to millions of viewers.
Her sign showed a mix of Russian and English writing which read "stop the war" and "Don't believe the propaganda, they are lying to you here".
Producers quickly changed the broadcast to a clip of a hospital as they dealt with the protester.
Those breaching the law could face 15 years in prison for simply calling the invasion a "war".
