Russia's jailed opposition leader urged the global community to protest against Russia.
We cannot wait any longer, so go to the main square of your city every day of the week and on weekends and holidays.
He said that people overseas should go to the Russian embassy to protest.
He said that we must "grind our teeth and overcome fear" to demand an end to the war.
Navalny's calls come at a personal risk. He was poisoned with a Soviet-era nerve agent and flown to Germany for treatment. He was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for parole violation after returning to Moscow.
Navalny's sentence was recently extended by 15 years.
After the arrest of Navalny and his hunger strike, Russians took to the streets in large protests across the country.
He acknowledged that his call for global demonstrations against Russian President Vladimir Putin's war comes as he sits behind bars.
He said that someone who cannot attend a rally and does not risk being arrested can call for it.
Navalny was arrested after he publicized an investigation into a $1 billion mansion on the Black Sea that he said was controlled by Putin. Russian officials ordered news sites to remove any reference to Navalny's investigation.
Since Russia launched its attack last week, protests have erupted in cities around the world.
In the past year, anti-war demonstrations have been staged in dozens of cities across Russia.
Over the last few days, thousands of people have been arrested for participating in the protests.
Russia's Investigative Committee warned citizens not to take part in unauthorized protests associated with the tense foreign political situation.
