It’s not a topic people here care to discuss much, wary of feeding Russian propaganda.
But the latest National Police Service report recorded more than 600 assaults on recruitment officers to date and warned that the aggression has become “increasingly threatening”.
The first big alert came in April when several recruiters were stabbed, one fatally. Then this month in Lviv, some 200 protesters surrounded officers attempting to detain a suspected draft dodger and smashed and overturned their car.
The riot made headlines as President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned violence against serving soldiers.
That’s gotta be delicate, wanting to report this while not wanting to feed the russian propaganda machine
(I am literally just using the words from the article…)
To paraphrase Colbert, reality has a well-known Russian propaganda bias.
Colbert said this …? referring to the Romanov ?
