I saw some other servers have megathreads so following suit

Edit: as the situation progresses some live cams may go down

I post Telegram links because that’s the social media platform many Russians use

    Vlad must be pissed that he’s being stressed the fuck out during the 3 day no poop challenge. It’s hard to keep the backdoor sealed when you’re stressed out.

    Vladimir Putin made an appeal where he called Prigozhin’s rebellion a betrayal and a stab in the back. He did not mention the name of the founder of Wagner PMC

    The day before, Prigozhin accused the Russian military leadership of rocket attacks on his Wagner PMC camps in the rear and killing his militants. After Putin’s appeal, he said that the president was “deeply mistaken”

    There is no independent confirmation of Prigozhin’s accusations, the Ministry of Defense denies everything. FSB opened a criminal case on incitement to armed rebellion
    Mercenaries from PMC “Wagner” led by Yevgeny
    Prigozhin blocked military facilities in Rostov and Voronezh
    The Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a missile attack on the occupied Genichesk, from which more than 100 km to the front line

      For size comparison, Rostov to Elets is about the same distance as Boston to DC, or Marseilles to Paris.

      This has to be a pretty legit threat to make the public aware. They usually keep people in the dark until after the fallout from something.

      I’d give it 50/50 they actually put up resistance or roll over. You can counter terrorist all you want until the terrorists are seasoned mercenaries with tanks knocking at the door

        But I’m guessing internet is going down anywhere near PMC positions, since I haven’t seen any new wagner footage in a while.

    This is going to give Ukraine a lot of breathing room. Not only does it take Wagner Group out of the picture, but Putin is going to bed to devote already thinly stretched military resources to try and contain a coup.

    Long-term, this could be troubling. As fascist as Putin is, Prigozhin is a straight up Nazi. Russia somehow pushing even further to the right is a scary thought. Hopefully Prigozhin and Putin soften each other up enough to allow more progressive elements to consolidate power, but I’m not holding my breath.

      I hope the infight between Putin and Prigozhin is nasty enough that the Freedom of Russia Legion and Russian Volunteer Corps can give them both a run for their money.

      Prigo will never galvanize the same support and control that Putin has. This is a good thing for russia. People may actually be able to fight back. It’s easier for the oppressed to fight back when the nation’s military is split between Putin and Wagner. It’s significantly easier when the propaganda machine loses its poster-child.

      Your scenario does not contemplate the crippled economy, with the oil spigot to Europe turned way down, as well as all other continuing sanctions and embargos, which is turning russia into an economic vassal of Beijing as we speak.

    Looks like fighting has or is about to start in Rostov. Chechen troops (around 200?) Are entering the city and starting to clash with Wagner troops.

    Shots rang out in Rostov-on-Don, according to RIA Novosti and local telegram channels.

    According to Beware, the News, this is how the Wagner PMC drives away civilians from the streets, because the Akhmat unit enters the city.

    IMHO not the smartest move of Prigozyhin to stop now and close a deal. There are no guarantees that Putin won’t stab him in the back as soon as he leaves Moscow. Why would he tolerate such behavior? The only thing Prigozyhin can do is push through.

      I’ve heard conflicting reports on the truth of him saying he wants to make a deal. Seems it’s a bit uncertain right now.

    So who we cheering for on this one? I mean if they could destroy each other that’s ideal. Ukraine wins by confusion on the Russian side but I can’t imagine Prigozhin is better than Putin. Seems like trading same for same.

      Neither, Wagner is a Nazi. Considering Russia has the largest stockpile of nukes this is a terrible situation

        Yep. We’re entering dicey waters.

        Even if the coup fails, this weakens the Kremlin, and increases the likelihood of Russia descending into civil war like Libya.

        But as you say, Russia has 40,000 nukes.

          No, Russia has 6000 nukes. Only 1700 are actually ready to deploy, the rest are just sitting in storage.

          And given the rampant corruption that has rotted Russia’s military out, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of them don’t even work. Nuclear weapon maintenance is a great thing to skim money out of since nobody’s expecting the nukes to actually be used.

            Considering all we read last year about the deplorable condition of transport vehicles, medicine supplies, soldier equipment and food that were in storage until last year - due to the money not quite making it all the way down the chain throughout the years - I think it’s pretty much a given.

      I’m just cheering on for more Russian infighting. The Citizens of Russia have sooooo much work to do to fix their shit country. There’s pretty much no good outcome for them in the short-term. But this could be great for Ukraine in the short-run, so that’s the best we can hope for imho.

      If anything, if this somehow speeds up an end to the war that could be a net positive for everyone. Like Ukraine, Russia cannot move forward in any real way until the war is concluded.

      No, and if you think this you aren’t paying attention. There is a 0% chance Prigo can galvanize the same level of support and absolute control Putin has. This will be a devestating blow to the russian propaganda machine.

      They are the same thing and there is no difference between them. Both are ruthless and barbaric. Nothing changes for Ukraine except for a brief opportunity to strike while the russians are in confusion.

        It’s better than nothing. The world tried to bring Russia into the fold but they constantly pulled crazy shit. While it’s certainly a dangerous time, a change had to happen. Maybe this leads to nothing more than creating a bit of chaos for the current Russian leadership but this could give them a chance to self reflect and figure out why they aren’t being supported.
