Five topless activists from the women’s rights movement Femen
protested at New York's Times Square in their usual style against
Russia's military intervention into Ukraine on Thursday, March 6.
WARNING - NUDITY
The
women striped off to the waist, baring their breasts to show slogans
and signs painted on their bodies, asking for tougher US and EU action
against Moscow.
The topless protests chests were painted blue and yellow - colours of the Ukrainian national flag - with words "F**k Putin".
The
activists tore apart a Russian flag and raise banners slamming Putin's
"occupation" of Crimea asking for US and EU immediate sanctions, "US-EU, stop talking start acting".
Inna
Shevchenko, a leader of the women's movement FEMEN said that the
protest was in support of the Ukrainian people, in support of the
Ukrainian revolution against Putin, against Russian occupation.
According
to Shevchencko, Putin is scared of one thing - of the people's power.
He's not scared of the US or EU. He's playing games.
That is why the activists called on the USA and EU to impose sanctions "much more serious than just restrictions of visas" and freezing of assets of officials.
Also several Femen activists were arrested on Thursday while shouting "Stop Putin's War"
in Crimea's capital Simferopol after carrying out topless protest
against Russia's incursion into Ukraine in front of the regional
parliament.
