The offices of the recruitment center in Russia have been attacked with Molotov cocktails, as Russian citizens have also begun to express their displeasure with their president Vladimir Putin, who began the invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
A video posted on social networks shows a man with his face and head covered throwing Molotov cocktail bottles at the windows of offices for the recruitment of young soldiers, Telegrafi reports.
Even according to the Russian opposition, such an action is a revolt against the war in Ukraine and the chaos that President Putin has created in Russia.
The local media report that eight such attacks took place in different locations, while local officials say that there were more but that some were not recorded by security cameras.
The responsibility for these attacks has been taken by VataHunters on Telegram, where they claim to be responsible for several attacks aimed at reducing the interest of young people in recruitment, which according to them most of them are sent to Ukraine to fight.
"The goal was to destroy archives with personal files. This should slow down the recruiting process a bit," VataHunters added. /Telegraph/

You may wonder, how old is this article? Well, the "Read this, too" article linked to it is titled "Ukrainians claim that nearly 28 Russian soldiers have been killed since the beginning of Russian aggression in this country" so I'm willing to bet it's not recent.
(Also, it just says so on the page.)

Given the turbulence and violence towards protesters against the Russian invasion within Moscow. It’s unsurprising that people elevated activism to thrash recruitment centers. I’m unsure if these kind of plays from within would be able to have any sort of impact on Putin reconsidering his invasion.
