A man was able to watch Russian soldiers get redeployed in real time by tracking the AirPods they had stolen from his house.
There have been multiple reports about Vladimir Putin’s troops looting houses and stores in Ukraine since Moscow invaded the country on February 24.
Ukrainian Vitaliy Semenets added to these testimonies when he said soldiers came to his home in the city of Hostomel, just north-west of Kyiv, and took his AirPods – which can cost up to £200.
But, like many Apple users, Mr Semenets had his AirPods connected to the FindMy app on his phone.
And as an unintended consequence, Mr Semenets was able to watch the 550-mile journey Moscow’s troops made as they moved towards the east of Ukraine.
Mr Semenets tracked the military leaving the area around Kyiv, crossing the border into Belarus and ending in the Russian city of Belgorod last week.
Belgorod is believed to be the place where Putin is assembling his soldiers to fight for the separatist region of Donbas.
