Russia's invasion of Ukraine sent shockwaves around the world - including among diaspora Russian communities.


In Australia, tensions are high with many wondering how this conflict will end and what price the world - and Vladimir Putin - will pay. 

Many Russian-Australians are deeply disturbed by President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

They're telling SBS News they're shocked by the invasion and fearful of Russia's next move.

Some fear the Russian president is capable of ordering a nuclear attack, yet doubt the military would obey an order to launch.
