[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] An incident occurred where the location of a Russian military unit was exposed in real-time due to a Russian soldier stealing 'AirPods' from a Ukrainian household.

On the 18th (local time), British daily The Times and other foreign media reported the story of Vitalii Semenets, who lives in Hostomel, 27 km from Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

According to the report, Semenets recently revealed the movement route of his AirPods stolen by a Russian soldier every day through his Instagram account.

Semenets said, "My AirPods were looted by Russian monsters at home," adding, "Thanks to technology, I can now know where the AirPods are."

Earlier, it was reported that Semenets had his AirPods stolen by a Russian soldier from a Russian military unit in Hostomel during the initial offensive to capture Kyiv at the beginning of the invasion.

Since the beginning of this month, as the Russian military began withdrawing from the Kyiv area, he tracked the AirPods' location using the 'Find My' app. This app can track the location of lost devices when they connect to the internet or other networks.

According to Semenets, the AirPods crossed the border to near Homyel city in Belarus and recently moved to Belgorod city in Russia, where Russian troops are gathering to attack Donbas (Luhansk and Donetsk).

Previously, Ukrainian authorities have continuously exposed the looting activities of the Russian military. On the 3rd, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense released CCTV footage from a Belarusian post office on its official Twitter account. The video showed Russian soldiers bustling around trying to send items.

In particular, the soldiers were seen packing electronic products such as TVs, scooters, and batteries into boxes. Regarding this, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense stated, "We cannot make a precise judgment, but there is evidence. It is a three-hour video recorded by security cameras at the Mozyr post office in Belarus," adding, "Russian soldiers who just returned from the Kyiv area are sending looted goods from Ukraine back home."

On the 2nd, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense also reported that retreating Russian soldiers held a 'special looted goods bazaar' in Narulia, a small village in the Homyel region of Belarus.

The bazaar sold various items looted from Ukraine, including dishwashers, refrigerators, precious metals, cars, bicycles, motorcycles, plates, shoes, artworks, and cosmetics.
