Russia tells citizens to switch off home surveillance because the Ukrainians are coming

Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs is warning residents of under-siege regions to switch off home surveillance systems and dating apps to stop Ukraine from using them for intel-gathering purposes.

Residents of the Bryansk, Kursk, and Belgorod regions were issued with the warnings amid what seems like Russia being thoroughly rattled by Ukraine’s incursion into the country’s southwest.

“The enemy is massively identifying IP ranges in our territories and connecting to unprotected video surveillance cameras remotely, viewing everything from private yards to roads and highways of strategic importance,” said the ministry, according to Russian newswire Interfax. "In this regard, if there is no urgent need, it is better not to use video surveillance cameras.

“It is highly discouraged to use online dating services. The enemy actively uses such resources for the covert collection of information.”

The airfields are what I suspected would be the true target of the incursion into Kursk: the forward position could be used for launching deeper drone raids. Russia has been using glide bombs mainly because they can be launched from bombers that are still deep in Russian airspace. If Ukraine can get to the airbases and take out the bombers whilst they are still on the ground, well, that would be a great relief to the front lines as well as cut down on attacks on civilians.
