And here's what a small selection of people in Moscow have been saying:
Away from the protest, a man in a pale blue and navy coat says he supports both Ukraine and Russia but does not support Russia's President Putin. Such a bald public statement is rarely heard in Russia these days.
"This is done in order to satisfy the geopolitical ambitions of our leader," he says.
But three older people - two middle aged men and an elderly woman - are much more supportive of the invasion.
A man in a baseball cap talks about "protecting Russians" in Ukraine. He blames Ukrainians themselves and says that it's "their own fault that they ended up in this situation".
"They have always been problematic, throughout history," he says.

And there was me thinking that it was bank robbing Georgians that had a history of being problematic in that part of the world...
