I’m super curious to see what happens. Doesn’t Putin directly command the Rosguardia (or whatever it’s called) which is like 200k soldiers? I don’t think those roll up to the Russian MOD so they aren’t in Ukraine.
Apparently, Priogi and Lukashenko have been talking and Wagner’s turning back from Moscow.
Putin can’t let this go, right? Even if he backs off, Prickozhin openly declared war on the MoD. I don’t see how Putain can just allow a direct challenge to state authority like that to go unpunished, even if it was couched in the typical “good tsar, bad boyars,” conflict avoidance language. And why’s Luka involved?
Soon, the second strongest army in Moscow oblast!

This whole situation is nuts.
Forgive my stupidity, what is an oblast?
An administrative region, roughly comparable to a state or a province
Danke Schoen, delegate
Not stupid at all, good question there
