Two Russian women with opposing views on war arrested within seconds of each other

A clip appearing to show two Russian women with opposing views on the war being arrested within seconds of each other has gone viral.

Footage captured by Activatica – an online Russian resource dedicated to civic activism - shows the first woman being pulled away by police moments after she asked: "Am I going to get arrested for this".

Just seconds later another person, who claims she "agrees" with the military operation in Ukraine, is detained before she can even finish sharing her opinion with the camera.
