The Russian Army is digging in.

Wagner is advancing into Moscow.

I need a ride, not ammo!

Confirmation needed, but we already knew that this would be a risk.

This might be low-hanging fruit, but the main thing that keeps popping in my head as this turn of events unfolds, is that I'm really glad Trump isn't president right now.

Only thing between Prigojin and Putler hanging on his balls is Kadirov sheeplovers.

How is this a risk? As far as I'm aware the ICBM's can only be activated by personnel in the Kremlin.

One example of pro-Putin spin.

But will they be any match for Wagner? It's not that the goatlovers managed to do anything in Ukraine, or anywhere but tiktok for that matter.

Having watched their videos for a year now I doubt they could do much if anything at all, most of them cannot even use the sights of their rifles or operate their equipment properly - plus they seem to be completely void of any tactics. I would be surprised if any of that had changed. Having to rely on them is pure desperation.

No one knows. They didn't participate in any fights in Ukraine.

The ICBM's, one would assume so, but the warheads are not glued to the missiles, they can be taken out and either used individually or sold to someone who can use them.

Its not like Wagner moving from Ukraine to Moscow. Some avangard squads was already in Moscow before coup started.

Hard to say, but over city government didn't cancel The Scarlet Sails.

Medvedev: "The audacity of the West to send aid to Ukraine! I hate all of you! You get a nuke! You get a nuke! Everybody gets a nuke! Ooga booga! Look how unreasonable I am! Why aren't you capitulating yet?"

Also Medvedev: "I'm so worried about what might happen if some irresponsible party got their hands on our nukes."

I won't link the video directly as I don't understand the language so it could be nothing but expletives, but still:

"Ukrainian soldier following today's news"

Confirmation would definitely be needed considering Borisoglebsk is well east (by over 100 miles) of Wagner's reported line of advance.

My concern would be how strong Russia's version of the Permissive Action Link is.

So, how is the 3-day special military operation going?

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

All of the top tracked flights on flightradar24 currently are russian military planes apparently leaving Moscow.

This one is interesting - notably going well clear of the areas wagner is allegedly occupying

Where ya headed? Headed to Putin's black sea compound perhaps?

edit: Looks more like Grozny now

There's an earlier report of one of the 4 presidential airplanes heading northwest out of Moscow (in the general direction of Putin's lakeside dacha, as well as St. Petersburg) before the transponder was turned off about halfway to that dacha.

There's a fresh report from Sky News that Belarus is claiming the Wagner Group has agreed to stop their movements inside Russia, likely in exchange for the "safety" of their fighters. Update - Sky is now saying that Prigozhin has ordered his fighters back to their bases to avoid bloodshed.

Prigojin moving backwards, Lukashenko made some deal with him.

 

[Tornado]

That's a shame.

 

[McLaren]

Even if it’s being called off, surely this will still have a lasting effect on the Russian soldiers & citizens?

 

[Eggstor]

That's a shame.

The best most of the world can hope for now is that the effectiveness of the Wagner Group, whether it continues as a private army or is subsumed into the Russian Army, is broken.

This whole thing feels like a Pysops
