Despite Moscow’s Missile Blitz, Students Lead Protests Across Ukraine The recent student led demonstrations across Ukraine's major cities and campuses have sent shockwaves through Moscow, where Russian President Vladimir Putin has long viewed these kinds of protests as an existential threat to his own power.
The protests are remarkable not just for their defiance in the face of Russia's missile blitzes but also because they are happening at all.
In a world where authoritarian regimes have become increasingly adept at suppressing dissent, Ukraine's young protesters are a beacon of hope for those who believe that people power can still effect change.
