Russian TV suspended for Ukraine war coverage; Staff quits on-air

The entire staff of a liberal Russian TV channel resigned on air after authorities ordered a shutdown on its broadcasts over the coverage of Moscow's invasion in Ukraine. In a viral video, the staff of Russian TV channel Dozhd could be heard declaring “no to war” as they left the studio in union. The channel then played the ‘Swan Lake’ ballet video, which holds a special significance as it was telecasted on state-run channels in Russia when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Watch the video for full details.
