Whenever this episode, a war, actually ends we should reflect on the impact on both sides of the use of social media. I am still amazed that we get contemporary Russian military social media updates.
On a different theme, the excellent FT article indicated that in "rebel" areas there is no heating, little food and conditions are unlikely to improve. Perhaps one day, after the first heavy snow blanket, we will be "treated" to footage of frozen 'New Russians'. Somehow I don't expect a rush in the West to give aid.
