Russian fratricide in occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Yesterday, a T-90 Russian tank commander under Yevgeny Prigozhin attacked a Russian National Guard unit directly under the command of Vladimir Putin. Many Russian national guardsmen were killed in the attack. The attack occurred directly where a Ukrainian offensive is expected against Mariupol.

Another faction between Russian troops under Chechen Ramzan Kadyrov also clashed recently with Prigozhin's mercenaries.

Sounds like Priogozhin is setting up for when he takes over, his mercenaries will become the elites....sure doesn't sound like unit cohesion is something they're driving for....

@td12212 @hedome

You may be right about that, there is a very long NYT article and it does hint at that (if you can make it through the whole article, LOL)
