Description
Tens of thousands of Russians gather in Moscow's Luzhnik stadium for a patriotic concert organised ahead of the first anniversary of the conflict in Ukraine. During an address, President Vladimir Putin praised the Russian military fighting in Ukraine and said that the country was fighting for its "historical lands". "We fully agree with him and we want our country to stop this war as soon as possible" says Vladimir Zyablitsky, a businessman who travelled around 3,000km from the Kemerovo region for the concert, adding "for that, the people must be mobilised around the leader of the nation". Another of those in attendance, IT specialist Denis Chulkin, explains "I came here, to the concert, to see Putin for the first time, to see him in person, even from afar." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
