Russian social media this week: officials insist "no mobilization needed", while recruitment ads jumped from 6.6% to 9.9% of all sampled content. The messaging shifted: from "sign before mobilization" to "sign before the war ends." 🧵 What Russians are really talking about #Russia #Ukraine

🎖️ New Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapatyi = hope for Ukrainians, hysteria for the Kremlin. Even pro-russian blogger Yurii Podoliaka warned his own audience: take this guy seriously. That's how you know he's the right pick. #Ukraine #Drapatyi

🔥 Russian marketplace giant Wildberries became the week's biggest morale booster. Ukrainian strikes hit WB logistics hubs near Moscow (Koledino, Podolsk, Domodedovo) + more warehouses in Krasnodar and Stavropol. "Wildberries doesn't exist anymore" — russians. #UkraineWar #StrikesRussia #AttackRussia

🚀Russian propagandists are bragging about ballistic strikes on Odesa and Kyiv, claiming Ukraine's air defense can't keep up. Meanwhile, they admit it themselves: strike intensity is up 12x since 2023. What they call victory is a war crime. #UkraineWar
