Police in the Russian capital have said they temporarily detained 600 people.<\/p>\n<p>In Moscow, a crowd of demonstrators gathered on central Pushkinskaya Square, many of them young people. They were chanting anti-war slogans and holding signs that read: <em>\u201cStop the war,\u201d \u201cNo to War,\u201d<\/em> and <em>\u201cUkraine is not our enemy,\u201d<\/em> as well as <em>\u201cNo one needs this war.\u201d<\/em> Media reports also showed some demonstrators marching along Moscow\u2019s Tverskaya street, where the mayor\u2019s office is located.<\/p>\n<p>Police cordoned off the square and sought to disperse the crowd, citing the existing Covid-19 rules. The rally had not been approved by city authorities.<\/p>\n<p>One of the protesters was filmed throwing a Molotov \u0441ocktail at the police during the protest, but the vast majority of participants were peaceful.<\/p>\n<p>Later on Thursday, the Moscow police department said they had detained around 600 people over various <em>\u201cbreaches of public order,\u201d<\/em> without specifying what those were.<\/p>\n<p>Protesters also gathered in Saint Petersburg\u2019s city center, with the local media reporting up to 2,000 people present at protests, including on the iconic Nevsky Ave. Police cordoned off the iconic Palace Square reportedly after some people started marching towards it. The city police did not immediately disclose the number of arrests, while the media said the officers had detained several dozens of people.<\/p>\n<p>Smaller anti-war protests were also held in several other Russian cities, including Yekaterinburg and Perm in the Urals, as well as the Siberian city of Novosibirsk.<\/p>\n<div >\n<picture>\n                    <!--[if IE 9]>\n                    <video ><![endif]--><source media=\"(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)\" data-srcset=\" \nhttps:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/xxs\/6217d71f203027162a3b92a4.jpg 560w,\n                            https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/xs\/6217d71f203027162a3b92a5.jpg 640w,\n                            https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/thumbnail\/6217d71f203027162a3b92a3.jpg 920w,\n                            https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/m\/6217d720203027162a3b92a6.jpg 1080w,\n                            https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/l\/6217d720203027162a3b92a7.jpg 1536w,\n                            https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/article\/6217d71f203027162a3b92a2.jpg 1960w,\n                            https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/xxl\/6217d721203027162a3b92a8.jpg 2480w\n                        \" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAJCAQAAACRI2S5AAAAEElEQVR42mNkIAAYRxWAAQAG9gAKqv6+AwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\"><source data-srcset=\" \nhttps:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/xxs\/6217d71f203027162a3b92a4.jpg 280w,\n                            https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/xs\/6217d71f203027162a3b92a5.jpg 320w,\n                            https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/thumbnail\/6217d71f203027162a3b92a3.jpg 460w,\n                            https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/m\/6217d720203027162a3b92a6.jpg 540w,\n                            https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/l\/6217d720203027162a3b92a7.jpg 768w,\n                            https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/article\/6217d71f203027162a3b92a2.jpg 980w,\n                            https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2022.02\/xxl\/6217d721203027162a3b92a8.jpg 1240w\n                        \" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAJCAQAAACRI2S5AAAAEElEQVR42mNkIAAYRxWAAQAG9gAKqv6+AwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\"><br \/>\n                    <!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><\/p>\n<p>                <\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n                <!-- noscript pattern --><br \/>\n                <noscript><\/p>\n<p>                <\/noscript><br \/>\n                            <span ><b>READ MORE: <\/b>Russian military attack on Ukraine: How we got there<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Those protesting in Russia on Thursday objected to the developments in Ukraine.
