is in ukraine. it's also quite difficult to get a sense of what russians really make of all of this. last night, there were small but very significant protests, demonstrators coming onto the streets to voice their protest after the war in ukraine. i say small and significant, because this is not a country which tolerates the voice of dissent. i saw some of them gathering last night at the centre of moscow, mainly young people. they were very peaceful, some of them chanting, the same is replicated in 50 cities across the country. but the number of arrests shows you how quickly the authorities here crackdown on that kind of dissent. in moscow alone, nearly 1000 people were detained as a result of civilly having gone out on the streets to protest. —— simply having gone out. the authorities have warned citizens not to demonstrate against what is happening in ukraine. thank you for your e—mails as well.
