Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sparked fierce, widespread outrage and condemnation around the world from global leaders, military experts and grassroots protesters alike.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military aggression — what President Joe Biden called an “unprovoked and unjustified attack” on Ukraine — has even surfaced a wellspring of dissent in Russia, where publicly protesting the Kremlin can lead to retaliation.
