Probably stuck on Oka river direction, it's the hardest point to Moscow so far.

Idk but to me this whole things seems a bit fake , it's just too easy for Wagner 

 

I feel like it's just a plan from Putin to give him a better image and at the same time remove some annoying officials, ofc it's just my opinion 

Seems awfully elaborate for a ruse, though there are some angles to how this has played out that would back that argument.

For Medvedev it's business as usual. He sits down on Twitter and makes his daily unhinged threat against the world

But in all seriousness: it's not a drill.
This is what happens when you're so incompetent and corrupted that a private army consisting of prisoners (with life-long sentences for most disgusting atrocities) is the most powerful force in your own country.

 

It also shows how those, supposedly, strong and powerful autocracies can collapse in 5 minutes and those weak and fragile democracies outlast them.

We'll see how this unfolds in the next 24 hours.

The military supporters in Myanmar are saying Wagner leader is just throwing a tantrum and that everything will be alright. Also they are spreading news that CIA funded this. 🤣

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I hope this Wagner guy wants to end war and bring peace but I highly doubt that is the case and it's just Russian mafia going against elite Russian mafia

So, prigozhin talked to lukashenko and pleaded to stop his offensive  how staged if true

 

the real question: what was this for?

Lengthy recounting of the day's events in this very long twitter thread for anyone interested. Some info here unconfirmed:

No sis, it's just one mob fighting against another in a mafia state.

Prigozhin is fighting for his life and his empire against other russian kleptocrats.

At this point this will either end in death/removal of Shoigu and his clique or death/removal of Prigozhin or a coup and death/removal of Putin. Going back to business as usual is the least possible option.

But, as I said, we'll see soon.

When the majority of Russia's heavy equipment is either currently in Ukraine or has already been destroyed in Ukraine. Not looking good for the Russian government.

Apparently I missed posting this earlier or didn't see it yet

So it's over?

It seems to me that this was done as a diversionary and justifying maneuver in case of losses.
