But after Feb 2022, this escalated dramatcially as illustrated in this astounding bit of film-making from inside a Russian school. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

A Russian schoolteacher secretly filmed his own workplace as it was turned into a war propaganda machine. That footage is now part of a documentary shortlisted for an Oscar.

In my view everyone should have the right to get changed in an environment they are comfortable in. There are numerous ways of doing this.
I make no comment on the facts of this case, the individuals concerned or their motivations. But I cannot abide men telling women how they must think.

President Zelenskyy is in Kupyansk, Kharkiv region today ‼️🤯
The town, declared "liberated" by russian propaganda, remains a fierce battleground. In reality, our forces destroyed the majority of the invading troops. Yet a few pockets of fighting remains.
