How Russians feel two years into Ukraine war
The catalogue of drama, bloodshed and tragedy: a special report from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Steve Rosenberg.
Two years ago, President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation to send Russian troops across the border into Ukraine in an effort to – in his words – "demilitarise and denazify" Ukraine.
It was only meant to last a few days, but the conflict has morphed into a slow-moving war and there is no end in sight.
Russia is now waging war not just against enemies abroad but against opponents at home, with Kremlin critics of the Kremlin driven into exile or put in jail. The recent death in prison of the most prominent opposition figure Alexei Navalny has shocked the world.
In this episode of the 5 Minutes On podcast the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Russia editor Steve Rosenberg reports on what people inside Russia make of a war that has changed their country.
