Ukraine war: Former Russian PM on dissent in Russia
A former Russian prime minister, now in exile, has spoken to the 蜜芽传媒 about the growing danger of dissent against the Kremlin.
Mikhail Kasyanov was prime minister from 2000 until 2004, then leader of the opposition People's Freedom Party. For the past 17 years, he's been one of Vladimir Putin's most prominent critics - staying in his home country, despite death threats - but recently made the decision to get out.
He told Newshour's Paul Henley what he makes of the present situation around dissent to the war in Ukraine and the Putin administration in the country.
