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”.

He has travelled to the Scottish estate where his mother died 12 days ago with his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, for a week of royal mourning where all official engagements have been cancelled, the paper says.
