You can't make extraordinary claims like that without providing a source. Especially considering Wikipedia has this to say:

> In August 2023, the Russian Prosecutor General's Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued official warnings about a new form of phone fraud in which Russians are forced to set fire to military enlistment offices through pressure or deception. The authorities claim that scammers call from the territory of Ukraine and choose elderly Russians as their victims. The Russian government has not yet offered any evidence of their claims. Russian business newspaper Kommersant claims that fraudsters support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and organize "terrorist attacks".

Emphasis mine.

> Now imagine the enemy government has dirt on most of your citizens

You don't really have to imagine this.
