She apparently pre-recorded a message:
Translation:
What’s happening in Ukraine right now is a crime and Russia is an aggressor country. The responsibility for this aggression is on the conscience of one man, and that man is Vladimir Putin.
My father is Ukrainian, my mother is Russian and they have never been enemies. The necklace around my neck is a symbol for Russia needing to immediately stop this fratricidal war and our brotherly people could still make peace.
Regrettably, for the last few years, I worked on Perviy channel and worked on Kremlin propaganda, I am very ashamed for this right now. Ashamed that I allowed to tell lies from the television screen. Ashamed that I allowed the zombification of Russian people.
We were silent in 2014, when this was just beginning. We did not protest when the Kremlin poisoned Navalny. We just, without saying a word, watching this anti-human regime.
And now the whole world has turned away from us and the next ten generations won’t clean themselves from the shame of this fratricidal war. We are Russian people who think, who are smart. It’s only in our power to stop all this madness.
Go to protests. Don’t be afraid of anything. They can’t imprison us all.

Apologies, the most important thing: Her name is Marina Ovsyannikova.
