Assuming you live near the embassies. It's a location based targeted ad from the fbi that essentially says "do the right thing for your future, share what you know with the fbi." There was a thread about it a few weeks ago. Has popped up every so often since Russia invaded Ukraine.

Thanks! Tried searching the sub but “fbi” was not a very helpful query..

I haven't, but that's the Russian Embassy and the FBI has been running ads/posting on facebook etc trying to recruit/reach Russian soldiers and/or potential defectors (which, wow...)

Wow indeed. Based on it being an FBI ad I thought it would be something like this, but watching it was very ominous not understanding the speech

The CIA or the FBI, I can’t remember which, letting Russian people who work at the embassy and other Russian nationals know “if you wanna talk, we wanna listen!”

There was a previous post on this sub with the full translation; search if you're interested. As others have said. The FBI is geotargeting potential defectors around the embassy.

They have these as promoted tweets too. The message is basically something like "The FBI invites the cooperation of Russian officials with classified information" and ended like "Wanna change your future? Reach out to the FBI on Signal" lol

Ballsy move for them to make ads alike this, makes sense no English translation is readily available lol

There was a recent post about this same issue.

FBI recruiting Russian dissidents is the gist of it

FBI’s jurisdiction is domestic crime, not foreign intelligence. This isn’t “tell us the rotten shit happening in Donbas.”

Obviously, political influence ops. But the Kremlin is very obviously dying for hard currency. I wonder what those dirtbags are up to.

It’s location based ad that is extremely frequent to people in NW DC around the embassy.

This is my favorite ad. FBI is trying to get Russians to defect by enticing them with the capital’s wonderful transit.
