Putin is rebuilding the Iron Curtain. Most Russian citizens have NO IDEA what's really going on in the world. Nearly all sources from the outside world have been blocked. And Putin passed a law providing 15 YEARS in prison for reporting or publishing anything that disagrees with official government statements.

News organizations including CNN, the BBC, and Canadian Broadcasting Corp. have also stopped broadcasting in Russia after the law was introduced.

Putin tells his people that Ukraine has hired actors and movie producers to make it look like Russian soldiers are mistreating people.
