Hot Take:

Well, it looks like the Cold War never really ended; it just got a modern makeover with a touch of instant messaging! Russia is apparently upgrading its recruitment methods from “spy vs. spy” to “text vs. text.” Who knew that WhatsApp and Telegram could double as career platforms for aspiring international troublemakers? But hey, at least they’re offering quick pay, right? That’s one way to boost employment rates, even if it comes with a side of international chaos.

Key Points:

  • Russian intelligence recruits Ukrainians via messaging apps for terrorist activities.
  • Ukraine has seen an increase in attacks on police and military facilities.
  • Nine terror incidents this year are linked to Russian intelligence.
  • Recruits are typically young, unemployed, or pro-Moscow individuals.
  • Ukraine’s law enforcement warns that recruits face dire consequences post-attack.
