Russian military videos on TikTok are coordinated propaganda and misinformation.
There is no way that hundreds of Russian soldiers posted TikToks on the same morning revealing their locations and movements.
The intention of this is to both misdirect from actual large-scale Russian movements and to lower Ukrainian morale: "Look how easy and fun it is for us to invade you".

They don't assume they will be tracked as individual soldiers, but in aggregate they leak information die to unprofessionalism. They have been doing this since 2014 so why do we expect them to be fully professional overnight?
