I’m not sure how real this is and I didn’t put in the time to fact check it, maybe one of you want to. However, this is a shacking use of social media type apps to assassinate a rival. Seems almost too far fetched and movie like to be true, but it also seems very plausible and simple to pull off. A good case of social media sites having unintended consequences.

https://www.strava.com/athletes/14384072 And it's possible tht it helped to assasinate him. Haven't checked Budanov profile that like this post, but most likely it's fake anddon't really belongs to Budanov.
It's not similar case in this war. There was stories that Ukraine managed to get exact cordinates of Russian bases thanks to post of troops on social media. And then release some HIMARS rockets to it. Something similar happened in Makkivka on New Year's Eve. So, it's good example why you should stay away from social media when you at war.
I don't think the Russia-Ukraine conflict will end easily. Russia maintains war with Ukraine. On the other hand, Russia wants to take some parts of Ukraine for which they are continuing this war. Because if Russia can occupy some part of Ukraine then it is their own gain.
Thank you for very interesting and deep insight, you really said something new.
