2022 protests in Russian-occupied Ukraine
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting Russian occupation of multiple Ukrainian towns and cities, numerous cases of non-violent resistance against the invasion took place. Local residents organized protests against the invasion and blocked the movement of Russian military equipment. The Russian military dispersed the protests, sometimes with live fire, injuring many and killing some. Most of the large protests ended in March.
Human Rights Watch reports that protesters had been tortured in the south of the occupation zone.
On 25 February, the city of Konotop was surrounded by Russian troops. On 2 March, at a gathering of city residents, the city's mayor, Artem Semenikhin (from the political party Svoboda), said that the Russian military was threatening to shell the city in case of disobedience and offered to resist. His proposal was followed by a standing ovation from the crowd.
There were protests in Slavutych on 26 March, as the battle of Slavutych escalated, with Russians attempting to occupy the city. According to reports, Russian troops had abducted the mayor of Slavutych, Yuri Fomichev; he was ultimately released in time to address a protest rally against the Russian invasion, which took place later that day in the city square. More than 5,000 city residents took part in the peaceful protest, until it was disrupted by Russian troops firing warning shots and launching stun grenades into the crowd. At least one civilian was injured.
On 1 March, in Kupiansk, Kharkiv oblast, the Russian army dispersed demonstrations.
In Starobilsk, Luhansk Oblast, civilians blocked roads for Russian military forces. On 6 March, a crowd tore down and burned the flag of the LPR, which was raised by Russian troops near the local government building, and replaced it with the Ukrainian flag while singing the national anthem.
On 3 March, civilians blocked the Russian military from entering Svatove in the Luhansk Oblast, while chanting Ukraine's national salute.
On 4 March, after the occupation of Novopskov in the Luhansk Oblast by Russian troops, local residents protested under Ukrainian flags. According to Ukrainska Pravda, citing locals, one person was injured as a result of shooting at protesters. On 5 March, the local residents protested again against the Russian occupation, and warning shots were again opened on them. According to the head of the Luhansk Regional State Administration, Serhiy Haidai, three locals were injured.
