    Never! Wagner will never fight for Ukraine! They fight for themselves, like all good Russian mercenaries. This is how Russia does war. They fight the enemy for a while, get irritated over little things, and then they fight each other for a while. Not very efficient, but they never stop fighting until they run out of ammunition. If Wagner does start fighting with Moscow's troops, you can bet there will be a Ukrainian supply sergeant nearby, saying "Are you gonna take that? Here, have some ammunition." I'm starting to think that "Hogan's Heroes" was based on Russian military (in)competence.

    It’s a coup. So it seems. Maybe.

    If true, he has “taken” a Russian town and crossed the Rubicon. Also smacks of disinformation- border guards hugging them?
    Russia-Ukraine war live: Russia accuses Wagner chief of trying to start a ‘civil conflict’ – latest updates | Ukraine | The Guardian


    Prigozhin released another voice message in which he claimed his forces were entering the southern Russian city of Rostov.

    He said:

    Right now we have crossed all the border points ... The border guards greeted us and hugged our fighters. Now we are entering Rostov.

    If anyone gets in our way, we will destroy everything ... We extend our hand to everyone, but don’t spit in it. We move forward, we are going to the end!

    Prigozhin said that those who opened a criminal case against him had “no feeling” and understood nothing but “treachery”.

    There has been no video footage that would confirm Wagner’s alleged movements.

    This is nuts. I hope its a total cluster and Russia starts eating itself. But I doubt anyone is that lucky.

    No one knows exactly what’s going on. But among those who are following on Twitter, it’s evolved in the last few hours from Proghozin Will be quickly crushed to “Wow, this might happen”

    It’s a long drive from Rostov to Moscow (about 12 hours by car) and dawn has broken. Is there any legitimate chance they reach Moscow without the entire Russian military staying out of their way? Feels like they would be sitting ducks on that route.
