There's no "military needs you" propaganda, no pictures of officials, no military banners or medals on the ways.. posted all over the walls to encourage support. Realisitically the decor of that building is nothing more then some dining room/living room that just had it's furniture moved.
My point is it's a house not an enlistment office, distance doesn't matter. It's the size of two rooms.
Where were you when Ukraine was killing its own for 8 years.
A narrative alleging the Ukrainian government was slaughtering Russian speakers in the east of the country was created by the media in Moscow, Mr Berlusconi told Italian TV.
He said the reporting, pushed by separatist forces and nationalist politicians in the Russian government, had left Mr Putin with no choice but to launch a limited invasion.
"Putin was pushed by the Russian population, by his party and by his ministers to invent this special operation," he said.

At least 20 recruitment offices have been torched, and an enlistment officer was shot at point-blank range at a conscription centre in the Siberian region of Irkutsk.
There is not a big anti-draft movement yet, but the longer all this goes on, the greater the possibility of it happening.

All wars are unjust Andy, and every war has its casualties at home, unfortunately. Maybe if our leaders had to be on the front lines of wars they start, they wouldn't be so eager to fire the first shot, but that's unlikely to happen.
A Russian man who was called up to fight in the war in Ukraine shot an official at a local enlistment office, multiple reports said.
The incident took place in the Siberian city of Ust-Ilimsk on Monday and was captured on video, according to The Guardian, Reuters, and independent Russian news outlet The Insider.
The video shows two military officials on stage in front of a group of new recruits who had been called up to fight in the ongoing war in Ukraine, The Insider reported.
Suddenly, a gunshot rings out and one of the officials collapses as everyone else runs out of the enlistment in panic, the video shows.
Russia plans to call up about 300,000 reservists - that is, people who have had military training and, Vladimir Putin stressed, have specialist skills needed in the Ukraine conflict. They will include many reserve officers, including some over 60, pulled in from retirement.
Russia could in theory mobilise some 25 million people for military service, but that is not yet being considered. Both President Putin and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu stressed that conscripts would not be sent to fight in Ukraine.
Mr Shoigu said the extra troops were required to defend a front line stretching for some 1,000km (600 miles).
Yeah, 10 days ago he supplied troops and equipment. After meeting with President Xi.
But here's the thing, Russia isn't the only country demanding nuclear war. Zelenski has demanded that the US preemptively strike Russia with nukes.

A video in the posts is grainy and looks as if it was taken with a cellphone camera. It shows a line of military vehicles driving down the road. Occasionally, civilian cars can be seen driving in the opposite direction. But there’s no evidence to support the claim that it shows a Chinese military convoy entering Ukraine.
Because the vehicles in the video were shot at an angle, it’s difficult to see some of the finer details. However, the sides of some of the military vehicles seem to display Chinese characters. But the passenger cars don’t seem to have Ukrainian license plates, which feature that nation's flag against a blue background.
