The player themselves can't hurt Ukrainian or his elite bodyguards, who don't move or react to being attacked by you or Vila in any way.

Coit Tower is also present and can be destroyed with no ill effects. The villain later attacks World Trade Center in New York, taking out a large chunk of its corner that makes it look uncomfortably similer to 9/11.

He even has a reputation in-universe for getting into trouble and needing to be bailed out before the game starts.

* TheUnreveal: ''Soviet Strike'' never gives a clear answer to the actual identity of the Shadowman, with even the most likely suspect [[spoiler:Yuri Vathzinov, the last head of the KGB]] being unconfirmed. There is even a fan theory he is in reality Nick Arnold, one of your copilots, due to similar speech patterns and how conveniently Arnold being out of action on your side lines up with the Shadowman being active.
