A wartime text conversation between a Russian mother and her son just before he dies in a distant battle:

​Lash, why are you not answering for so long, are you sure you are on exercises?

12:23

Mama, I’m no longer in the Crimea, not at the EXERCISE

14:16

And where??? Dad asks if you can send a package

14:33

What kind of package mom. I’m just upside down now I want

14:38

What are you talking about? What happened?

14:47

Mama, I’m in Ukraine. There is a real war here. I’m scared, we ‘re firing on everyone, even on civilians get shot. We were told that we would be welcome here, but they throw themselves under our vehicles and do not let us pass. They call us fascists. Mom is very hard for me

Marlow comment: Factual or not, this is info war at its finest — covering the tactical to the strategic land all points in between.
