Russian President Vladimir Putin’s intensification of attacks against Ukraine is being matched with an upped presence of riot police at home, according to reports.
James Longman, ABC News Foreign Correspondent who is currently reporting from Moscow, posted a video from the city on Sunday illustrating the efforts being employed to keep protests to a low.
In it, a large column of men in uniform marched through the streets, making well known to all the power of the Russian state.
Midway through recording, Mr Longman casually stated: “There’s more people being arrested and taken off in trucks.”
