The well-known journalist Marina Ovsyannikova has left Russia accompanied by her daughter. Her lawyer Dmitry Sakhatov told the AFP news agency. "They are now in Europe. They are doing well."

Ovsyannikova became internationally known in mid-March when, during a live broadcast by her employer, a station loyal to the Kremlin, she held up a protest poster to the camera behind the news anchor against the military campaign in Ukraine.

"Stop the war, no war," she shouted several times at the time, holding a placard reading "No war" in English to the camera. Underneath, in Russian, it read, "Stop the war. Don't believe the propaganda. You are being lied to here". Then in English again "Russians against the war". For a few seconds the woman could be seen with her placard, then images of a hospital were superimposed.

Before fleeing abroad, Ovsyannikova left the apartment where she was under house arrest in Russia, according to her lawyer. The journalist will publicly comment on her escape at a later date, "but at the moment it is not safe," Zakhatov said.

Two weeks ago, Ovsyannikova had been placed on a wanted list in Russia, suggesting that the 44-year-old had gone into hiding. Ovsyannikova had been indicted in August for "spreading false information" about the Russian army. She faces up to ten years in prison. A Moscow court placed the journalist under house arrest, which was to last until the start of her trial. She was also not allowed to use any means of communication.

In the meantime, Ovsyannikova had been staying in Germany, where she worked for the newspaper "Welt." She then returned to Russia in July to fight for custody of her two minor children, which her ex-husband, who lives in Russia, wanted to take away from her. She continued her criticism of the Russian offensive in Ukraine.
