In response to Ukraine's recent incursion into the Kursk region, Russia's interior ministry has issued warnings to residents in Bryansk, Kursk, and Belgorod to avoid using online dating apps and limit their social media activity. The ministry claims that such services are being exploited by Ukrainian forces to gather intelligence and identify military movements. This follows a surprise attack by Ukraine on August 6, which has resulted in significant territorial gains for Kyiv and heightened security concerns for Russia. Authorities also cautioned against using unprotected security cameras and streaming videos from sensitive locations, as these could reveal important information to Ukrainian forces. The warnings come amid a notable demographic crisis in Russia, exacerbated by the war and resulting casualties, which has left the country vulnerable in various respects. As a precaution, military personnel have been advised to disable geo-tagging features on social media to protect their locations from being tracked by Ukrainian forces.
