The human rights organization OVD-Info denounced on Wednesday the arrest of four people after they laid flowers at a makeshift memorial in Moscow in memory of the victims of the latest attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, in which at least 44 people were killed.
As detailed by the organization on its official Telegram channel, Moscow Police detained two people for placing flowers and two others who were nearby. It seems that members of the ultra-nationalist Russian Liberation Movement had reportedly alerted the security forces.
The four detainees have been taken to the police station in the Moscow district of Droogommilovo, as reported by the organization itself, which has also indicated that one of its lawyers has gone to the police station to provide legal services to those arrested.
The monument to the Ukrainian writer Lesia Ukrainka, located in a Moscow park, has become in the last hours a point where to pay tribute in an improvised way to the civilians killed in the recent attack on the city of Dnipro, with respect to which Russia dissociates itself and accuses Western powers of planning it.
