IGX

The Instagram account of a Russian solider may have landed under-pressure Vladimir Putin in hot water after the app's photomap placed 24-year-old Sanya Sotkin's selfies in rebel-held Ukrainian territory.

The selfie-addicted solider's Instagram may be vital in proving Russia's involvement in the Ukrainian civil war after images show the active-duty Sotkin operating in the disputed territory.

The CIA has been disbanded, or what?
It seems all they doing now is just gather pics from internet.

would you prefer to have the cia kidnap you, take you to a dungeon in bulgaria, and beat the shit out of you, so they can learn where to find the good posts on twitter?

I would only advice them this place :)

if they know the place, isn't it would be better for CIA to publish photo of BUK itself?

Take a deep breath Bill. He's just a regular young guy who's bored and posted pictures on line. Anybody who is on instagram can find him, and because it geo-codes photographs automatically, can tell where they were taken.

Not going to change one damn thing. The Europeans are nutless and can do nothing militarily to Russia.

News out of Germany is the Krauts are going to cut a deal. Crimea will be recognized as Russian territory, Ukraine will promise not to join NATO, the eastern Russian speaking Ukrainian provinces will be given autonomy, Ukrainian politicians will be paid off with billions and the Ukraine will sign a long term deal with the Russian State Oil company.

Putin will have achieved all of his short term goals and set Russia up perfectly for their long term goal; annexation of Eastern Ukraine.

The West is incapable of thinking long term. Long term in the decadent west is the next election cycle.

FC, what you see on these pics? Tell me : ) What they are proves?

Seems too much like fake. Seriously.
First, instagram not so popular in Russia.
Second, i personally turned off GPS on my smartphone to save battery. The same with Internet. I turned it off to save money and battery.
If he really there, i am sure he would use phone only for calls or sms.

BTW, is it fake or not?

russian news keep silence about this :)

Bill, drop the dumb act. It's obvious to anyone with a passing interest in Russian military affairs that the Eastern Ukrainian Insurgents are Russian Military Intelligence Special Units. The little green men are GRU Spetsnaz

The first indicator is they are sporting the latest and greatest in Russian military gear in Surpat camo. I know this because I own some of it. Russian military gear is quite good. It's not the crap that was feilded in Soviet times. Admittedly, it's as good as anything fielded in the west.

Why does he have a tattoo on his hand in the art style of the First Nations people of the northwest coast of British Columbia? Is he a Vancouver Canucks fan?

My point that pics from instagram can not prove anything.

I'm not trying to prove anything so relax.

Bill are we invited over to hunt dogs with hammers or not?

Bill is a cool dude but he is hardheaded as all get out. I still love you Bill.

That guy Strelkov.
Why he don't hide his face and name?
For me it proves that he is independent. And he really WAS GRU speznaz colonel.
The same others, they are volunteers and they are professional soldiers.
I already posted video with Serbian volunteers, they are for certain not from GRU :)
