On the streets of Moscow, Russians share their thoughts as the military intervention in Ukraine reaches the six month mark. There are signs of public support for Russia's actions in Moscow, with stickers in the windows of some cars bearing the letter "Z" -- the symbol of Russian forces fighting in Ukraine. But in the centre of the Russian capital, generally considered less conservative than other parts of the country, most residents interviewed by AFP were critical of the conflict and its effects. IT specialist Dmitry Romanenko laments the loss of his various business ventures and shares his plans to relocate. Art historian Valentina Byalik bemoans the fact that her "great country is now in isolation" and feels "profound grief that people are dying". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
