Several independent media outlets in Russia are holding a marathon event on June 12, which is commemorated as Russia Day in the country, to raise funds to support political prisoners and Russian citizens who openly condemn Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The organizers of the marathon said they wanted to show that not all Russians support Moscow's aggression against its neighbor. The event started at 9 a.m. in Moscow and is expected to last until 10 p.m. Russia Day is a national holiday marking the then-Soviet republic's declaration of state sovereignty in 1990.
