2022 Russian Far East protests

Further information: Russian invasion of Ukraine and Protests against the Russian invasion of Ukraine

With the beginning of mobilization in Russia, anti-war and anti-mobilization protests broke out in the Russian Far East, mostly performed by women.[1] Former Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj protested against usage of ethnic minorities such as the Buryats, Tuvans, and Kalmyks as cannon fodder,[2] and invited them to Mongolia.[3] The Tuvans belong to Turkic peoples but are also regarded in Mongolia as one of the Uriankhai peoples.[4]
