People shouted, demanding that she stop, and then one of the men snatched the Russian flag from her hands.

One of the women reminded her that a Russian missile had recently killed a person. But in response, she began to argue and assure that it was not Russia that launched the rockets at Odesa, but that a «hybrid war» is now underway.

The policemen arrived at the scene and took the woman to the station, they promised to provide legal qualifications for her actions.

We will remind that on the night of October 8, the Russian army terrorized Odesa region with attack drones for four hours. Fires started as a result of the attacks.
