The edifice is swaying in the wind.
So are we back to the thinking of 24hrs ago to all this being some sort of ruse or charade. Russian authorities rolling over or flipping sides, all some bluff or pre arranged ploy to give Putin a way out. Very odd for them to get so close to Moscow for them to camp out for the night.
..
Could be just a feint.
Wouldnt surprise me if Putin is gone .. .
Theres no way Wagner would just go quietly , so whats Prigozhin gotten out of all this?
And has a 24 hour change in priorities helped ukraine much ..
I knew it was too good to be true, this is all very underwhelming.
unlucky for those helicopters pilots getting blasted out of the sky for a feint
It just shows how chaotic and misgoverned is Russia. Putin isn’t some master strategist, he is just a naughty boy.
Worse than the final season of game of thrones.
Meanwhile in chechen units..
I really hope they've pulled this off 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Ah Lads, this is making no sense now?
A bit of a stupid feint to destroy 7 Aircraft, A fuel depot along with whatever other infrastructure damages have occurred.
Along with general reputational damages to various institutions.
Maybe they just got tired?
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ Message from the press service of the President of the Republic of Belarus.
This morning, Russian President Vladimir Putin briefed his Belarusian counterpart on the situation in southern Russia with the private military company Wagner. The heads of state agreed on joint actions.
As a follow-up to the agreements, the President of Belarus, having additionally specified the situation through his own channels, and in agreement with the President of Russia, held talks with the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Negotiations continued throughout the day. As a result, they came to agreements on the inadmissibility of unleashing a bloody massacre on the territory of Russia. Yevgeny Prigozhin accepted the proposal of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko to stop the movement of armed persons of the Wagner company on the territory of Russia and take further steps to de-escalate tensions.
At the moment, an absolutely profitable and acceptable option for solving the situation is on the table, with security guarantees for the Wagner PMC fighters.
As previously reported, also during today, the President of Belarus held two meetings with the power bloc of the country on this situation.
It gets interesting...
Prigozhin is extremly unhinged, don't try and make too much sense of it - you won't be able to.
It’s like Musk and Zuckerberg’s cage match but with bigger scum bags and armies.
Putin's strongman image ebbs away further if Prigorzhin is allowed walk away. Luka and the Chechyans to the rescue?
Defense "reshuffle", guarantees handed out to Wagnerite mercenaries, Prighozhin dead/poisoned before end of year, Russian state controlled media brushes the whole "incident" under the carpet, calling it now
It's unclear. Has he asked them to turn back or halted them?
Emergency valium shipment on route to Brussels I'm hearing.
C/O Wallace & Daly.
Looks as though Pergozin just moved his troops to safety. The Russian forces and Ukrainians wanted them out of the theatre so he brought them to somewhere it'd be harder to explain by Putin knocking off his own people.
Ballsy move. His lads will probably be subsumed into the regulars but on better terms than had previously been given a few weeks ago.
Someone is getting poisoned
Funny but accurate
Indeed, there might be a bit of a shakeup within the military chain of command as a price to pay for Wagner integration. I suspect Prigozhin will walk away without taking up a position himself.
Apparently the Wagner forces encountered this duo on the outskirts of Moscow and just decided to call the whole thing off and head back to base for a nice cup of tae.....
So is it fully over or has this fully stopped?
Yeah and not what Ukraine wanted which is the only thing that matters.
"Back to base" - doesnt say which bases though.
Probably back to captured bases in voronezh and rostov for now until the situation develops further.
