Generally indicating a firing squad, a wall and the undesirables.
No one does firing squad nowadays. It's either poison or defenestration.

"And, of course, the agency must be cleared of anyone who chooses not Ukraine for themselves or discredits the state guard service," he said on Telegram.
Smart.
Putin's government is all about subterfuge.
Don't hire anybody who is in it for the money.
