During the Easter weekend, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine received renewed attention when Russia was reported to have carried out troop movements at the border.

Russia's president, who is speaking today, is expected to comment on the conflict.

- He will say that Ukraine is provoking and that Russia then has the right to mobilize and strengthen its maneuvers near the border, says Bert Sundström who is SVT's correspondent in Russia.

Demonstrations in support of Navalny

Demonstrations in the country are also expected today in support of the imprisoned opposition politician Alexei Navalny.

- In social media, this is seen as a way to show that "we really want to change Russia".
