Quite a good result, according to some sources, 13 aircraft crew members died. Lost
People gathered along the street and cheered, grabbed Wagners hands during Wagners marching &leaving the military base. It’s marked new chapter of Prighozin in Russian Politics. I think he got many supporters in low rank regular militaries and vast growing Russian ultranationalists. The loose of Putin means for the shining of Prighozin. Not good news for them wanting Putin’s down
We shouldn’t overrate Wagner. It’s not the PMC it was 2 years ago. Most of the members were former soldiers with war experience. They were elite soldiers who actually knew their trade.Wagner now consists of 80% men who were recruited at random. In prisons and on the streets. They have neither experience nor knowledge of how to fight in wars. Their only knowledge is from a 2-week training
The PMC lost their best people in the UKR. This is one of the main reasons why Prigozhin has such a great hatred of the Russian military leadership. Russia let Wagner out while the regulars were in the back and staying out of the way. For Prigozhin, the war has now become a personal farce because he has lost so many of his fighters and knows that recruiting cannot compensate for this.
His business in Africa is in jeopardy.
The long-standing Wagner members must have been upset with Prigozhin, too, because so many good men had to die so senselessly. Knowing that they can always be next as long as they keep fighting in the UKR.
Ok everybody calm down. It’s over
Lukashenko negotiated Prigozhin’s decision to turn around. The criminal case against Prigozhin will be closed and Prigozhin will leave for Belarus. Wagner fighters are reportedly withdrawing from Rostov.
man this was quite the eventful day
It all stinks to high heaven. If Wagner Söldner and Prigozhin get away with it just because they didn’t invade Moscow, Russia would be open to blackmail. And a clear admission that the Russian government is unable to defend the country against mercenaries. For Putin, this is an enormous loss of power and makes his person vulnerable.
And what is Prigozhin supposed to do in Belarus? The risk of dying there is just as high as in Russia…
not exactly – I’d rather say: ‘it’s another part of in mediam res’. Today Russ narrative, finallian society got a message: ‘if you have some problem, get a gun and buddies and walkt to Moscow’.
This is a disaster no matter how finally awoken from a stupor propaganda (and vatnics, they got a narrative to push, finally) will spin that.
sry my keyboard behaves wildly tonight x.x
Maylar: Ukrainian large scale offensive started. Russian sources: Fighting at antonvski bridge, left, eastern side of dnjpr. May the force be with you Ukraine. Sizing the moment for history. Godspeed. Slava ukraini!
The Wagners are already passing through Lipetsk Oblast. According to Google Maps (which is helpfully plotting a course to avoid the roadblocks on M4) that’s a little more than six hours away from Moscow.
Prigozhin crossed the red line. He enjoys no support from the political class, patriotic bloggers or the regular armed forces. The population is on Putin’s side. His days are counted.
I need more popcorn! Putin eating the shit he produced. I love it! Let’s wait and see which criminal wins. I wouldn’t underestimate Prigozhin, he knows how to coup and his force is no joke.
What happened to Patrick ?
A few days ago, he was praising the “tens of thousands” of Wagner, saying how strong they were. And now they rebel, and Patrick is not amused.
But, to correct Patrick one more time: Prigozhin does enjoy strong support from part of the political class, patriotic bloggers, the general population and the regular armed forces. He didn’t try his coup alone.
What’s your point little clown? There are tens of thousands of Wagner troops and they are strong. Today’s events don’t disprove it, on the contrary.
Your comment was erased by Jerome, you wrote it again, with the same insult, and the same misinformation.
There are not “tens of thousands” of Wagner troops, only several thousands. They were not strong enough to face Putin’s security troops (about ~15k in Moscow) and Prigozhin prefered to fold. Yesterday events proved me right.
Well you asked for it. I did not provoke you. And BTW, you were right about what? Did I or you ever evoke the scenario of a confrontation between Wagner and the regular army? Never. Another miss.
I was right about the size of Wagner (5-10k) and that they are no longer a threat for Ukraine.
And I also was right about the lack of strategic reserve in Russia. Russian army throws everything they have in Ukraine, keeping almost no troop in Russia.
Where is the evidence for your 5-10 K claim?
How do we know what side the population is on? Gauging the popular opinion is very hard in a country where certain opinions are punishable by prison.
Prigozhin is on a personal crusade. People see it.
What Prighozin want is just more brutal war and destroying ukranians whatever it costs and as soon as possible. I think there will be concession. If so, it will be bad news for Ukrainians.
I agree. He uses the social media to pass his message. People that use them and can listen to this message, if they are interested in the war, because there are those that aren’t interested, will be able also to see other videos of the front. So they know that it hasn’t collapsed and they aren’t losing big territories. So they won’t support him.
Also the elite and the army most likely will not support him because they will not want to change “the devil you know” to someone they don’t and possibly is more warmonger than Putin and wants to transform Russia to a big military camp. I think that he didn’t want to lose his army with the contracts, he feels that they need him because of his troop loyalty and they would like to negotiate with… Read more »
Damn. A lot of stuff happened while I was asleep.
Prigozhin is trying to buck the “bald-hairy” rule. In Russia, leaders with a full head of hair always alternate with bald ones. This rule was strictly followed for 200 years. (You could argue that Malenkov was an exception; you could also argue that he was just a figurehead, and that the USSR was really ruled by a committee at the time.)
So, what does that mean for Ukraine? In1917 it was the end of the war. I would guess that holds true here to. If those 25k wagnerites fight, I think then it is over.
Well there are still Russian troops in Ukraine and they can’t retreat because the Russian side is occupied by pro-Wagner forces. I hope however that Ukraine can take advantage of the situation and that this coup weakens Russia, perhaps starts a civil war, but I also hope that Putin won’t be overthrown by a ultra-nationalist military junta that would play with nukes
do they actually have the weapons to defend themselves against the Russian Air Force?
Of course… Reportedly shot down some allready. This has been planned and they know what they are doing. Well trained in Africa. Eat your dirt Putin. The only once that could stop them are on the frontline. Once they reach Moscow, aviation is history.
And they will reach Moscow in some hours. I wouldn’t bet on who wins that round.
Capturing the capital is quite a good option, but all the scum have long since fled, even the bunker grandfather along with Shoigu are on the run. It is too difficult to trace them without reconnaissance, Russia is very large in area. Although I do not rule out that they have people in intelligence and it is not Russian at all)
There is a video confirming that the PMC has Pantsir ammunition, they are loaded on trawls and, if necessary, shoot at aerial targets. There is information about the downed plane, even video confirmation. And 3 helicopters were damaged. There is also a video of firing on KA52
https://t.me/Tsaplienko – Ukraine Journalist, there are many video materials
They were able to defend themselves against the Ukrainian air force, so probably yes. And it sounds like the regular Russian army rolled over without a fight, so they might have captured anti-air weapons from them.
wagnerites and prigozhin are not your friends. Best case scenario is to for Ukr. taking the initiative ASAP and using the potential of confusion and morale flicking on the front exploiting as much as possible while this squabble is going.
“Not my friends” is the understatement of the day. But if they really fight, they will not be beaten by the air force plus riot police and fsb agents. If they fight like they did in bakhmut, this war will be over, that is what I believe.
revolt is not a revolution. Prighozin may cosplay Pugachev (as Putin is cosplaing Peter, or Stalin, or Winter Grandpa, depending on the day) but Putin still is the only part od the system which has recognised legitimacy inside RF. It’s definitelly a byproduct of Putin’s ‘divide and conquer’ internal politics gone really wrong. Still – he is the only actor (even if in a coma) able to be a referee.
there is (for now) a lot of confusion – which is seen in official channels. But ‘this is all the CIA’s doing’ is already in the air.
(it will take a moment before vatnics take on this narrative).
I mean the war in Ukraine will be over. Who or what will emerge in Russia, hell I don’t know.
unfortunately I’d not bet on that much.
You can add now a map of Moscow 🤣
Good one… 🙂 This is just to good. The demons putler called… Burn Russia, burn, you deserve it.
I honestly did not expect Russia to implode. Ukraine now is your chance to liberate Crimea!
Russia will not fall apart. This requires many different processes within the state and at least more than 2 years. The fact that the front may collapse after August is quite real. Although it is too early to talk about anything, the mutiny has only just begun.
It seems that the situation is already gaining uncontrollable momentum. It’s looking more and more like a mutiny. The next 2 days will be very interesting, all that can be said at this time is that Rostov and Voronezh are under the influence of militants
Criminals killing criminals. I need more popcorn.
Yeh me too. But who is behind prigo? They alays go by 2 . one master and his apprentice.
Its better than disney Starwars.
Russians should let Prighozin to become their President
After “Kiev in 3 days”, watch the new Special Military Operation “Moscow in 3 days”. Let’s hope a lot of orcs will kill each other.
And from 2nd army in the world to 2nd army in their own shitty state 😉
A video appeared where the rotation bases of the PMC Wagner were allegedly fired upon, the attack was carried out by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Looks like a staged video. Agent Girkin points out that all this leads to a coup d’état…
don’t get carried away by this.
That saying, the deterioration of RF’s state seems to getting closer for the idiomatic ‘African Somecountry’. For which the writting on the wall was on the 1st day they started empowering private armies and let loose numerous volunteers’ units.
The Russians are really strange, let’s hope Ukraine can use this to their advantage and push to Mariupol and Melitopol
The video is said to have been staged. Prigozhin probably thinks he can use Wagner’s popularity among the RUS population to bring about the overthrow of Putin. Wagner conquers the Kremlin and Prigozhin takes Putin’s place.
I think we are slowly seeing Prigozhin’s downfall, because Russia won’t allow itself to be blackmailed and will ultimately have the upper hand.
I need more popcorn. What a failed state, epic.

Agent Girkin points out that all this leads to a coup d’état. Yes, it all looks very doubtful, but the latest statements of the butcher Prigozhin indicate that the so-called SVO is the fault…

i just want to point out that the source from the Vodyane uses Call of Duty music in its video. Dafuq is wrong with this timeline? Why have combat footage with edgy music. The song is Adrenaline by Jack Wall btw.
GenZ is mostly fighting this war
It is not the first time that shots of fighting on the front with music from computer games is underlaid. Music has been running in many videos from the Ukrainians since the beginning of the war. So nothing special …
Not all drones have microphones to absorb original noises.
The possible Russian Meltipol dilemma: Defend Meltipol and move your logistics 200 km plus thru ukrainian long range fire control along one major road and one railway or retreat. Subdilemmas: 1) Every km lost brings more area into gmlrs range. 2) A retreat will make it even worse, since the logistics will be split.
Possible solution:
1) Russia can bring in enough logistics, to hold the line until Ukraine can’t impose this fight in the south anymore or the mud season stops the fight. Risk: The same problem will be there in 2024, possibly including atacms, Abrams and F16s.
2) Retreat to the isthmus of Crimea in the west and closer to Russia in the east.
Risk of 2): Even though Crimea is very easy to defend, Ukraine may be able to impose a corresponding dilemma here.
I think Russia will not be able to solve this dilemma. In some weeks Ukraine will be able to put pressure across the dnjpr and it has a lot of forces left to put more pressure on the frontline, all of which will increase the logistics needed. The hope for Russia could be, that Ukraine runs out of munitions.
I don’t think that the attack on Russian logistics will be enough to force them to leave Melitopol. Ukrainian can’t impose a strict logistics blocage in Melitopol as they did in Kherson, and Russian resisted more thant 2 months in Kherson with all bridges down.
But the burden on Russian logistics may help Ukrainians to silence Russian artillery and pierce the frontline.
That is exactly my point.
Ukrain just can encircle melitopol. It will probably take one year, but melitopol and tokmak will fall like kherson.
And like kherson, russia will probably try to stay in melitopol as long as possible.
UKR will do everything possible to isolate the Crimea from a distance. Without access and care, no new RUS troops can be moved there. However, the ports must also be put out of operation.
However, I also think that the south can only be brought back by conquering Melitopol. A circle of this city will not be sufficient.
that’s (‘Crimea is hard to take/easy to defend’) kind of popular and problematic stance. Crimea was taken almost on march, even if reinforced with defense installations numerous times. It’s not easy to defend, vulnerable to fires, have no inherent ability to sustain large forces (and population) and is strongly dependend on external sustenance.
shortly – it’s as much a trap as a defensive position.
Not so easy. Small frontline. It will be a battle of artillery. Russia cant win this artillery battle.
And at this point, no more activ airport in crimea. And also for hélicopter, it will be difficult to hide .
You guys may be right, and as stated above, it may be the same problem all over again. That being said, there are many ports and Russia still controls the sea, more or less.
Russia only controls the sea militarily because UKR has no military ships available. Russia can only do it with what they currently have in the Black Sea, because a passage lock for warships continues to apply. When all Russian warships are destroyed in the Black Sea, the Black Sea is a gray area.
