direct fire and gather critical intel

In Crimea, a Ukrainian car repairman went out drinking with Russian officers and then later shared the details of their conversations and the location of invading troops with his own country's military. In occupied Kherson, a man who performed at weddings before the war said he had pivoted to planting explosives under Russian soldiers' vehicles. And outside the city's airport, a tech worker snapped photos of the enemy's vehicles, collecting intelligence that was then promptly used to blow them up.

These stories were shared Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal, which reported that regular Ukrainians, using simple tools like smartphones and the messaging app Telegram, have proven very useful to their country's intelligence gathering processes. Ukrainian forces can act on the intel in under 15 minutes, putting fire on Russian positions.

"These people see Russian tanks moving, they see where troops go for dinner, where they party, where they do their laundry, and they share that information with us," a Ukrainian security official told the news outlet. "Without them our army would have no way of knowing."

Russian forces have felt the effects, and these everyday spies are becoming a priority for Russia. Its security and intelligence agents having raided the homes of suspected informants and imprisoned several on charges of espionage. The Journal said that few have been released, as civilians are rarely exchanged in Ukraine and Russia's prisoner swaps.

What the fuck did these idiots think was going to happen? Did they buy into Pooty Poot's bullshit that they'd be welcomed with open arms?
