The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has urged thousands of supporters marching through central Berlin to continue their protests against President Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine.

"One protest alone won't change anything. We need to keep coming out," Yulia Navalnaya said, at the first rally she and other prominent opposition figures have led since being forced into exile.

People carried the blue-and-white Russian opposition flag as well as Ukrainian flags, while chanting "no to war" and "Putin is a killer" in Russian.
