Protest by Russian diaspora community in solidarity with invasion of Ukraine is met with resistance.

As the invasion of Ukraine by Russia continues, some members of the Russian diaspora community gather in Hanover on April 10th, 2022 to show their support for the actions of Putin. Supposedly rallying against discrimination of the Russian speaking community in Germany, the participants de facto use the motorcade to show their support of the war.
