the kremlin is doing everything it can at home to control the narrative about what's happening in ukraine. virtually all independent russian news outlets have been either blocked or shut down. and the new law has made it a criminal offence to spread what the authorities deem to be "fake news" about the russian armed forces, punishable by up to 15 years in prison. he already destroyed russian reputation, he already destroyed russian nation... maria baronova rejects that narrative. she's left state broadcaster rt in protest and fears for russia's future. yeah, yeah, no, russian economy is dead, everything is dead. it's the end, it's the end. it's like the death of your very close relative now. it was a big love of my life, russia, and now it is dead as well. on this special day, no celebration. instead, concern over what most of the world calls a war, and what the kremlin calls an operation. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow.
