It's impressive yet unbearably upsetting to watch Zelenskyy hold himself up under extreme pressure against vile bullying and deliberate belittling. All in front of the world's media as he had to translate these exchanges internally before replying clearly in a second language, and staying calm.

She is correct and she's a brave woman who has protested repeatedly since 2022. The fact that, at this point, we can recognize antiwar protesters by name and face points to how marginal their position in russian society is. They don't speak for the average citizen and they can't stop the war.
