From: Kyiv Post— In response to the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s (AFU) recent offensive in the Kursk region, Russian authoritieshave launched an extensive advertising campaign to recruit new military personnel.
This campaign, the largest since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, is being heavily promoted across various platforms, including Telegram, Yandex, VKontakte, and federal television channels.
According to an analysis conducted by ‘Agents’ media, the campaign began as Ukraine intensified its operations in the Kursk region, coinciding with Russian forces’ renewed efforts in the Donetsk region.
The recruitment drive is seen as an attempt to bolster Russian military ranks amidst the Ukrainian incursion.
The campaign has been particularly aggressive on Telegram, where mentions of the Ministry of Defense’s Contract Service website saw a significant surge in August 2024.
