Interesting that Russia needed to base this operation within Ukraine and use Ukrainian SIM cards. Maybe it was targeted at Ukrainians and wanted to appear as being from Ukraine in social media recommendation feeds?

Much easier to filter by 'source country' than by content... Russian operatives can blend in very easily in Ukraine and Latvia because there is a large chunk of the population that speaks Russian natively. Doing that in say NL or France would be far harder without attracting some kind of scrutiny. And possibly they have other duties besides.
