So what happens if they actually reach Moscow....? They don't just rock up to the Kremlin and assume control, do they?
I take it that's whoever is orchestrating this in the background reveals themselves.
Looks like a bus was hit.
I'm skeptical of this one but ........
We're certainly getting closer to the bunker scene and Putin taking a bullet!
This is all surreal.
So far, It looks like it's been well planned and they may face very little resistance.
I would say this coup has been in planning for months now and there is no way Putin gets out of this.
Yevgeny Prigozhin is not stupid.
He must have had preparations in place before starting this mission.
Exactly, the only way this ends is with the leaders of either side dead.
No scraps in my scrapbook.
By all accounts they blew up a civilian vehicle /truck,
Not Wagner forces
Can't see Prigozhin's venture ending in much success if he failed to learn mistakes made re: driving a military column along a highway.
Anyone check in on that idiot Russian mechanic in Clane who was rocking around with the Z on his car?
Interesting who really supports Putin
Russian army helicopters open fire on Wagner convoyThe military convoy was travelling along the M4 highway outside of the city of Voronezh, Reuters reports.
Presumably he has spoken to many of the commanders along the way, sent delegations asking that people allow Wagner through unimpeded.
If they nabbed Putin alive and delivered him gift-wrapped to the courts in The Hauge (or even better to the courts in Kyiv) that would put them on the way to people’s good books….despite all the evil crap they are very guilty of.
I'd love to see Zelensky to come out and give putin his options to surrender to Ukrainan forces

Probably same
If Prigozhin can survive until Monday, if this doesn't fizzle out, if he doesn't get killed, if he doesn't u-turn, if he doesn't come to an agreement this could get pretty serious for Moscow.
This is wild really. Russia just a white African nation at this stage.
Penny for the thoughts of Xi and Biden.
Quite a feat, considering the botox.
Somebody is going to end up strung up at the end of this. It's just a matter of him or them now.
This is it Wagner win and you go home, Putin win and you rotate out to the killing fields of Ukraine again and hope you don't join so many of the friends and comrades you lost already.
If Wagner look like momentum is behind them it could become a landslide for them.
One thing we will not see is pitched battles and prolonged fighting.
This and you can bet Prigozhin knows and knew exactly where russian army forces are or more Importantly are not before he started this
I've never seen Putin look so cross.
Putin is in the ****
The vast bulk of his Army is in Ukraine, cut off from supplies, cut off from being called back.
His best trained forces, the Wagner goons for hire, have turned against him and are grabbing territory and Airfields (maybe aircraft too), and heading towards Moscow.
He cant use his favourite Trump card, the threat of Nukes.
If he loses control of his Airforce he is finished,
The Fsb on the ground not complying with orders from on high.
Prigozhin and Wagner have friends.
RT reporting this also
This is it. It's like they've been given the go ahead. Vlad looked rattled in his video today and spoke with desperation.
They could be at the edge of Moscow by sundown.
It's seen fairly often in the early parts of a civil war that people are reluctant to open fire. But once it gets going it won't stop and I can't see the Moscow battalions standing aside.
What Russian armed forces?
Their losses in Ukraine have had a colossal impact. What is left in Russia proper is paper thin.
All their mechanised infantry and armoured battalions and reserve units have been decimated. Losses among battlefield helicopters and ground attack fixed wing aircraft and drones are also considerable, by all informed accounts.
The question is, are there enough forces to block the way to Moscow and among there number are there enough professional soldiers willing to lay down their lives for Putin's regime? The regime that has sent probably hundreds of thousands of their numbers to their death and capture.
Do you think this could happen without FSB's approval?--->
@Richard Hillman "They've travelled 600km overnight and today and received such little resistance. They are more than half way from Rostov-on-Don to Moscow now. Is it starting to look like the Russian Armed forces have completed downed tools?"
