Thank you for that, Major-General.
As we are meeting today, there are protests occurring across Russia against Putin's unprovoked and unjustified war on Ukraine. These protests are in defiance of the Putin regime. Currently, hundreds of protesters are being arrested daily.
What do you see right now as the mood and consensus of the Russian people? Did this happen in 2014 or 2008 towards Putin? I'm curious to see if you see any parallels.
