and everyone is in essentially the same pose.
The FTA site has a video which explains why everyone looks so posed (if you are wiling to sit through 15 minutes of Russian with subtitles). It is a high level media briefing event detailing what Russia is doing and going to do (these are the army guys next to Putin - the rest have nothing much to say). They revel that they are using 12 mobile satellites to track developments and are launching new ones and apparently show a firing position for a Russian Siberian arty unit.
Their early strikes hit among other things, 6 fuel storage sites, 2 fuel convoys - wasting 50 vehicles - I’m sure the Russian did this without warning (the US gave 45 minutes warning after dropping leaflets for a similar op - the difference is stark).
The room would obviously not be operational during this event.
