More than 1,300 Russians have been arrested in anti-war protests after Vladimir Putin announced reservists would be sent to fight in Ukraine.

Under the headline “Russians see red at Vlad”, the Metro reports on the outbreak of protest in Russia following Mr Putin’s announcement. The paper says more than 1,300 people have been arrested in at least 38 cities, with some heard to shout “no war” and “send Putin to the trenches”.

The Daily Mirror leads with a record reward of £200,000 being offered for finding the killer of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel.

The front page also leads with their campaign to ensure all children can access free school meals.

The Sun says there is good news and “Vlad news” from the war in Ukraine, with British prisoners of war being released but Putin threatening to use nuclear weapons.

Under the headline “good news, Vlad news”, the Sun reports that among the five were Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner, who had been “sentenced to death by a Kremlin-backed kangaroo court” in occupied areas of eastern Ukraine. The paper says the group, which also includes a captured aid worker, landed safely in Saudi Arabia after the “surprise deal”.

Thursday’s front pages are heavily dominated by the international reaction to Russian president Vladimir Putin’s TV announcement, in which he hinted at nuclear weapons use and called up Russian military reserves which have prompted plenty of young Russian men to flee their homes.
