6. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Ilya Yashin, Russian opposition activist:
"This front line has become a tragedy for Ukraine. It is Ukraine that is currently the victim, the main victim of this confrontation. And Putin, Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, seems to be the horseman of the apocalypse, behind whom this darkness is moving, covering Ukraine."

8. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Ilya Yashin, Russian opposition activist:
"But this war runs a bloody line through other countries too. It runs through Russia, where people are imprisoned for anti-war views, where people are imprisoned for advocating for freedom, where people are killed. One of the first victims of this war was my friend Boris Nemtsov, who back in 2014 organized a huge rally of many thousands in the center of Moscow demanding the withdrawal of troops from Ukraine."

"And what is happening in the dungeons of Belarus with local political prisoners? We don’t even know if (Siarhei) Tsikhanouski is alive. We don’t even know if Maria Kolesnikova is alive. And what this moustachioed scumbag (Alexander Lukashenko) is doing is simply monstrous."
11. Pan from Yashin to crowd UPSOUND (Russian) "Guys, thank you all for existing, thank you all."
STORYLINE:
Russian opposition activist Ilya Yashin said on Wednesday that a global confrontation is taking place in which Ukraine is the main victim.
Speaking at an outdoor event in Berlin, Yashin told gathered supporters that the confrontation “is already acquiring the characteristics of a third world war.”
“This is a global confrontation between tyranny and freedom. Between progress and obscurantism," he added.
He described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “the horseman of the apocalypse, behind whom this darkness is moving, covering Ukraine."
Yashin, who was released from prison last week as part of an historic prisoner swap between Russia and the West, also drew attention to the suppression of political activists in Belarus.
"We don’t even know if (Siarhei) Tsikhanouski is alive. We don’t even know if Maria Kolesnikova is alive."
The historic trade was in the works for months and unfolded despite relations between Washington and Moscow being at their lowest point since the Cold War after Putin’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Since his release, Yashin has spoken about the difficulty of knowing he cannot return to his home country and that other Russian activists remain in prison.
