Russian television channel TV Rain (Dozhd) has suspended its operations after it was ordered to shut operations by the authorities given its coverage of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. The staff of the Russian news channel resigned on air, after declaring ‘no to war’ in its last telecast.
Journalists at the liberal channel, one of Russia’s last independent news outlets, decided to take a stand for peace. “No to war,” Natalia Sindeyeva, one of the channel’s founders, said as the employees staged a walk-out from the studio.

Wow, that is amazing for that to happen in Russia. Putin does not like people disagreeing with him publicly

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
"Why is Swan Lake on loop in this Russian TV broadcast?
The broadcast then cut to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake in a nod to Russian history. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, state-run TV channels would play the ballet performance on loop instead of showing the turmoil in the country."
