The Russians are just nasty. They are pulling stunts to disrupt relations between Ukraine's neighbors by such things as painting swastikas on the Hungarian cultural center in Uzhgorod and similar instances that give the impression that the Ukrainians don't like Hungarians very much. They put a grenade into a consulate in the Ukrainian city of Lutsk. You might think the Russians would have a better way to spend their time, but not so. They enjoy this kind of thing, even if it is not really all that successful at moving people away from the Ukraine. It still has plenty of support. The thought of Crimea does not go away that easily.
Still, we get a good idea of what Russia's philosophy is with respect to Information War. Disrupt, damage, slowly influence. We need to be giving some of their own back for that. We should be disrupting their own operations and running more of our own. The EU too.
