Also, on the latest installment of "Russian Roulette" over at Vice, Simon Ostrovsky is embedded with a forward unit of Ukrainian soldiers moving towards Donetsk as rebels were retreating. According to Ostrovsky, the men claimed some rebel checkpoints that had been abandoned just that very morning of the recording. On site, Ostrovsky shows one particular checkpoint where numerous women's clothing and underwear was found. The video even shows it. He said he'd never seen anything like it, and that it was very odd. As far as I can tell, there could only be two possible explanations, since inviting wives to a conflict and forcing them to leave with less of their clothing doesn't make sense.
1. The amusing explanation: these rebels have a bizarre way of partying and keeping themselves entertained.
2. The un-amusing explanation: local women have been raped and/or murdered by the rebels, and we should expect to find some more mass graves, like in Sloviansk.
