Dozens of army enlistment offices, railways and police cars were set on fire in a violent protest against Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Video footage of an incident, shared on Telegram, shows a hooded guy throwing molotovs at a recruitment center in Siberia.
This suggests that the Kremlin’s television propaganda, described by former Russian state television journalist Zhanna Agalakova as a “brainwashing machine,” is failing.
Fires at coal-fired power plants, munitions factories, commercial buildings and study centers have also been damaged since the war began on February 24.
Most of them occurred closer to the border with Ukraine, adding an ammunition depot 40 km from Russia, and less than 80 km from Kharkiv, on March 29.
However, giant, unexplained fires occurred much farther away, such as 2600 miles from Ukraine to Berdsk, which is Kazakhstan’s closest neighbor in Central Asia.
Shocking photographs circulating on social media showed the city’s chemical plant shrouded in a huge cloud of black smoke.
An airbase near the port city of Vladivostok and a military coal plant on the eastern Chinese island of Sakhalin were also badly damaged by the fires.
While the Kremlin has not yet given its opinion on the cause, analysts are the cadres of Russian saboteurs.
Ilya Ponomarev, a former member of the Russian Duma and an anti-Putin activist, wrote on Telegram: “This is everywhere, and that is why no one can say that this is the task of Ukrainian intelligence or Ukrainian saboteurs. “

He added: “Ukrainians can simply engage in acts of sabotage near the border, but they don’t do it in Vladivostok; obviously, it was the Russians who did it. “
Igor Sushko, a Ukrainian racing driving force who posts photos and videos of alleged acts of sabotage in Russia on Twitter, said: “Russian saboteurs who oppose Putin continue their heroic work.
It is to verify whether all the cases are an act of sabotage, but an anti-war activist who targeted an enlistment site in Lukhovitsy, Moscow region, said: “The Russians do not need to become a 200 shipment, so they take desperate measures. “. “
Charge two hundred is a term in the Russian army code that is used to refer to the sending of army casualties.

One year of military service is mandatory for young people in Russia, unless they have grounds for exemption.
Recruits are meant to be sent to the front, but many ended up fighting in Ukraine.
Mykhaylo Podolyak, a senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, described the mysterious outbreaks as a “divine intervention. “
He added: “Karma is a ruthless thing. “
Other war analysts point to Ukrainian drones and helicopters for attacks within the diversity of the border.
The attacks on enlistment offices by anti-war activists come as Putin accelerates his crusade for more recruits.
Moscow removed its age limit for professional infantrymen (formerly 40) to recruit more civilians.
According to estimates by Ukrainian and Western experts, more than 30,000 Russians have been killed so far.
On Tuesday, a statement from the Ukrainian General Staff claimed that 208 Russian aircraft, 174 helicopters, 1,358 tanks, 3,302 armored vehicles, 649 artillery, 207 rocket launchers and 93 air defense systems were destroyed.
