Define troops. Bodies ⏬️ they have more when the war started. But despite recruiting close to 40k a month never reaching the goal set by law. Wondering why that is 🤔?

The panic started with a "snowball effect." It began with a small report on "Narva People’s Republic" social media groups.

These were marginal accounts with almost no followers, but once reported on, the narrative took on a life of its own in the Ukrainian blogosphere. 2/13

Prominent bloggers like Arkady Babchenko began claiming the Kremlin has "no deterrents left" to stop an attack on the Baltics.

They cited figures of 500–700 armored vehicles and 70k soldiers in the Leningrad Military District. But where is the proof? 3/13
