Self Loving Russian Soldier

He sure is in love with his own pictures.  But a Russian army sergeant may have tipped Moscow's hand, by posting selfies from inside Ukraine.  And he's no tourist. 

Alexander Sotkin, 24, has been posting pictures of himself in various combat settings, such as an armored personnel carrier and military camps. And the photo from Sorkin's Instagram page shows he has taken photos in Moscow, and inside the Russian border town of Voloshino.

But what's worse - within his Instagram shots, Sotkin appears to have activated a locator map that showed how several images were shot and uploaded inside Eastern Ukraine earlier this month.

Oops.

Of course, Moscow denies any of its soldiers are inside the border of Eastern Ukraine, despite accusations from the United States, the E.U. and NATO. 

Sotkin and his friends may need a lesson in the pitfalls of social media.
