War in Ukraine: Graphic protest by Russian artist Yevgenia Isayeva

A Russian artist covered herself in fake blood and repeated the phrase “my heart bleeds” in a protest in St. Petersburg on Sunday.

Yevgenia Isayeva stood on the steps of the municipal assembly for the anti-war demonstration before police came and took her away.

She also put a canvas at her feet with an appeal to passers-by not to support the bloodshed in Ukraine.
