1. Real soft power, fucking finally.

   – Hello, this is FSB, we need you to burn TCC building for 10000 hryvnas, we will provide materials…
   – Sure, but there is one condition for that.
   – We are ready to discuss.
   – My wage is low so I will pay with instalment plan, deal?

2. What the article doesn’t tell you is that the initial announcement by Ukraine’s ground forces said that the recruitment offices would be moved to the territory of the local hospital and an administrative building. This was shortly edited out with an excuse that the original text was posted with “a foreign interference”.

   I guess posting about hiding actively sought after military targets within civilian infrastructure and behind human shields made for bad PR and made people draw parallels and ask uncomfortable questions.

3. >Speaking on national television after the Poltava attack, Ukraine’s Ground Forces spokesperson Vitalii Sarantsev said Russia was intentionally striking enlistment centers to disrupt Ukraine’s ability to replenish its Armed Forces.

   From what Russia has said it’s less about disrupting recruitment and more about winning good will with the Ukrainian people who don’t like being snatched off the street and tossed in a trench. They’re hitting the TCC in the areas of the country that are less willing to fight and letting TCC run free in regions where pro-Ukrainian sentiment is the highest.

   I don’t know if that speaks to Russia’s overabundance of long range drones, or implies that they think the war is coming to a close and are focused on smoothing the transition to a Russian government, trying to avoid resentment and partisan behavior.
