Frail granny who survived Siege of Leningrad is bundled away by cops for protesting against Putin.

A group of anti-war activists staged a protest in Russia's St. Petersburg on Wednesday evening (Mar. 2) to protest their country’s attacks on Ukraine.

But the police intervened in the demonstration and arrested some protesters including an elderly woman.

More than 2,000 civilians have been killed since Russia launched its war on Ukraine on Feb. 24, according to Ukrainian authorities, while the UN Refugee Agency estimates more than 874,000 people have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, 498 Russian soldiers have been killed and 1,597 wounded in the fighting.
