Ukrainian Protester Makes Bold Statement at Cannes Red Carpet.

A protester wearing a dress in the colours of the Ukrainian flag poured fake blood over herself on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of 'Acide'. The woman was quickly removed by security. It is unclear whether the protest was a condemnation of the Russian invasion of Ukraine or why it took place at the premiere of the French director's film. Last year, a similar protest was staged by a Ukrainian at the festival. The festival has historically served as a backdrop for protest, but authorities are cracking down on all forms of protest in the area around the festival to guarantee public order.
