Russians taking the train from Moscow to Kaliningrad have to pass through a station inLithuania. There are 24 large posters depicting the war in Ukraine on the platform when the train stops.

There are pictures of dead and injured civilians, grieving families, destroyed homes and infrastructure, and child refugees on the posters.

The posters all have the same message: Today, Putin is killing civilians in Ukraine. Do you support this?

As far as we know, Russians are not affected by what is happening in Ukraine, according to a spokesman for the state-ownedLithuanian railways.

It is the least that we can do.

The Russian parliament recently passed a law criminalizing the spread of fake news.

The atrocities witnessed in Ukraine, including the bombing of a Mariupol hospital, are fake according to Russia.

According to Mia Jankowicz, Putin's propaganda is so effective that Ukrainians can't convince their families in Russia that they are under attack.
