Таке враження, що частина регулярних військ рф вбиває своїх же, схоже частина військових підтримує прігожина. Поки незрозуміло що відбувається остаточно, це бійня.

A lot of things are being thrown around here and there about things happening in Russia but I have so far not seen a single photo or video evidence of anything, only text and audio messages.

I just spoke to someone with contacts inside Wagner - he confirmed that this wasn't theatre, and that Prigozhin is making a move. "It's not clear exactly what's happening right now, but it's not nothing."

I hope now it's clear to those who called this 'Putin's war' how wrong they were. In an unlikely scenario Wagner topple Putin, will it be Prigozhin's war? No. Russians are fighting among themselves not because they are against war, but because it's not going according to the plan

1/ Wagner Group fighters have been saying goodbye to their relatives over the past 24 hours and telling them to watch the TV news, which suggests that they may have had advance notice of today's dramatic events with Yevgeny Prigozhin.

It seems the mystery of how the fuel depot went up in #Voronezh is solved- a Wagner operated Strela-10 fired on a VKS Ka-52, but the likely 9M37-series missile missed and hit the depot. Explains why the Ka-52 wasn't seen firing rockets, just dropping flares.
