A children's fashion show with guns in Moscow reportedly designed by a ten-year-old girl gives an illuminating glimpse into the way the Ukrainian crisis is seen by many Russians.

But critics of the Kremlin are viewing it as evidence of the pernicious power of propaganda in the worsening conflict, and it has been strongly criticised in Ukraine.

At the show held in a leading Moscow fashion venue, girl models believed to be aged between ten and 12 are dressed in the colours of major world countries.

The girl in Ukraine's blue and yellow colours holds up a gun and points the weapon at the participants representing Russia and the US.
