The hindsight card, and that is all you have.
This apparent U turn en route is so weird, I'm not sure I beleive it. But if you think you have some sort of upper hand by squaling hindsight as your basis for victory, you're a bigger fool than any of us thought.
Has Papa bottled it? News is Belarus brokered deal. Yeah right. So Prig is now a dead man walking and once in barracks his army will be massacred in their beds. Astonishing Prig fell for it.
But the cats out of the propaganda bag, and instability has been thrown all over the front in Ukraine.
Prig trusts the word of Putin. Wow, one flew over the cuckoo's nest.
If you're in Moscow or near and think you are not going to be in the middle of a bloody battle think again. You're about to live what you did to Ukraine. Stock up those water bottles and get underground while there are still spaces.
It's Wagner v Chechens in an all out battle to the last drop. And don't bother trying to blame NATO, again!

Quote from Freedom of Russia Legion: "Prigozhin and we are enemies on the battlefield, but now he is telling the truth: about how cowardly generals send hundreds of thousands of Russians to their deaths as cannon fodder. His words show that no one can put up with corruption, dictatorship, and hypocrisy. We hope that the war of evil against evil will weaken the repressive machine and we will liberate Russia with our sworn brothers.
Soldiers, officers, your time has come. Turn your weapons on the Kremlin tower, do not let the conflict drown Russia in blood. It's time to stop the senseless and cruel killing of Ukrainians, the death of thousands of Russians at the front line and return home: to the place where you are needed now."
Details: At the same time, Denis Nikitin, Russian Volunteer Corps Commander, said that, according to his information, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has already been evacuated to Russian Valday, and representatives of the Russian VIPs are leaving Moscow on their business jets.
He also claimed that the front of the occupiers is "beginning to collapse" in Ukraine – demoralised and out of control Russian soldiers are leaving their positions. According to Nikitin, the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are advancing in the vicinity of the Bakhmut and Zaporizhzhia fronts without facing any resistance.
Quote from Nikitin: "I am sincerely cheering for the success of Prigozhin's mission, because the bloody Kremlin regime can be overthrown in only one way – an armed rebellion. And Prigozhin raised this rebellion...
We have launched English Twitter! Follow us!
The Russian Volunteer Corps fighters, who are in Russia, have been mobilised. They are ready to help liberate Russia from a bloody tyrant. I think that the Russian Volunteer Corps troops are bringing our joint victory closer on both sides of the border."
Enemies are now uniting to take out Moscow. Tin hats!

where are the usual weekend pose of kremlin diehards banging the propaganda drum from russia? at the airport trying to get on one the regimes private jets? much deleting of databases and covering digital tracks? too late, the war crimes evidence gathers have everything you ever posted anywhere copied in case their is evidence of your collusion with the child murders seeking to normalise the terrorist acts.
as i keep saying, the **** will be hitting the fan for a generation in response to the evil done by russia and those who enabled it.
"quote from cnn: "perhaps prigozhin dreamt he could push putin into a change at the top of a ministry of defense the wagner chief has publicly berated for months. but putin’s address on saturday morning has eradicated that prospect. this is now an existential choice for russia’s elite – between the president’s faltering regime, and the dark, mercenary frankenstein it created to do its dirty work, which has turned on its masters."
"ukraine will likely be celebrating the disastrous timing of this insurrection inside russia’s ranks. it will likely alter the course of the war in kyiv’s favor. but rebellions rarely end in russia – or anywhere – with the results they set out to achieve. the 1917 removal of tsar nicholas ii in russia turned into the bolshevik revolution, lenin and then the soviet empire.
as this rare jacobean drama of russian basic human frailty plays out, it is not inevitable that improvements will follow. prigozhin may not win, and the foundations of the kremlin’s control may not collapse. but a weakened putin may do irrational things to prove his strength.""
Potential overnight stop Novomoskovsk, there is apparently a problem there on the M4 and Wagner will have to divert, I guess they will switch part of the spearhead via Tula. They will need a regrouping rally point before launching an assault on Moscow. Russian 'current 'loyal' units are few and scattered all over, just about everything has been sent to Ukraine. Urgent recalls underway from Belarus. It is a race for Moscow to construct some sort of meaningful defence. That is before a civilian uprising behind the defence line, all though Muscovites have shown themselves to be pure cowards in their cotton wool safe world.
"Putin urgently leaves Moscow for bunker in Valdai – Ukrainian intelligence"
Run Forest, run.
"Military vehicles are proceeding along the M4 highway towards Moscow, the Russian media outlet Mediazona is reporting."
STILL NO RESISTANCE EXCEPT A REPORT OF ONE AIR STRIKE ON THE ROAD.
Moscow looking like it is going to be a battle zone. Which forces in Moscow will fight under Putin, which under Wagner? Who is the person with a gun standing next to you siding with?
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/06/24/7408354/
Next stop is Moscow. Still no resistance on the ground or in the air.

"Veterans of the Wagner Private Military Company (PMC) have been ordered to wait for a sign to join Yevgeny Prigozhin's rebellion.
Source: Vazhnye Istorii (Important Stories), a Russian website focused on investigative journalism, citing one of the mercenaries who participated in the invasion of Ukraine
Details: The mercenary said that veterans of the Wagner PMC who wished to take part in the armed rebellion have been ordered to wait for the signal in full combat readiness.
Quote: "We await an official order from Papa [Yevgeny Prigozhin]. Rosgvardia [the Russian National Guard] and the army refused to follow orders, and we have been ordered to wait in full combat readiness.
There should be an order for further action in the afternoon.""
Interesting chat off the far east diplomatic wire.
Putin not being addressed directly by Prig. Unopposed movements indicate orders to not engage Wagner come from Putin. Imminent withdrawal of troops to follow from Ukraine supposedly to protect mother Russia from insurrection. Prig to go into exile.
Why?
That way, instead of Russia being beaten out of Ukraine in a total military defeat, a way to withdraw without overt battlefield defeat is created.
Credible?
Some intelligence agencies in far east seem to think so.
"Russia Banned Google News as Wagner Group Mercenaries Try to ‘Organise’ a Coup Against Russian Government "
https://www.european-views.com/2023/06/russia-banned-google-news-as-wagner-group-mercenaries-try-to-organise-a-coup-against-russian-governmentt/
More attempts to control the information state, but failing.
Chatter is full capitulation to Wagner, no resistance. Putin has clearly backed the wrong horse. Moscow to be 'approached' by nightfall.
I remember when the Berlin wall came down, I toured Czech, Romania and Hungry the year before. No sign at all of what was to come, had a full compliment of security forces monitoring and following us everywhere (they were not very good, easy to lose). When things change, it can happen very fast.
Stock up on the drinks and snacks for a live ringside seat of a country folding in on itself as Moscow explodes in full scale street battles. Taste of their own medicine.
"Russian soldiers surrendered en masse to Wagner PMC in Voronezh.
Wagner now controls both Rostov (population 1.1 million) and Voronezh (also population 1.1 million). Wagner is now approaching Krasnodar (1 million) and Volgograd (950k) without any resistance."
Social media post placed on the wire, so has good trust status. I doubt very much the failure to resist Wagner was pre-arranged, remember that the army has been on the frontline, in the fight and have first hand information on the reality from day one. The Moscow masturbating society may have been easily fooled by the propaganda, but that was never gong to be the case with the soldiers.
Will the generals now order the cease fire and full withdrawal? It's been on the cards since last October/November. If it is perceived Moscow and the Putin clan are loosing control, the generals maybe free to act independently and end the slaughter they started.
Fingers crossed.
The end has begun. Now, all that is left to be revealed is how messy this is going to get.
The end wasn't exactly difficult to predict, it has been leading intelligence reports for getting on for a year now. The war was based on a fundamental lie, the lie would never be covered up forever, there would be serious consequences internally and externally for what Russia was doing. Since then it has just got worse, and worse and worse. Now the dam, next the dirty bomb, it will al end in worse tears for Russia. Not quite salivating, lots of too's and fro's to come. And always beware an irrational wounded bear trying to launch some nukes to save face. Although early days, the apparent rank and file support for Prig indicates an order to try and launch the old rusting depleted nukes may not reach the launch control or even be carried out. But there is a long way to go and a decade more of civil war and unrest inside Russia.
If Wagner was encountering resistance on the ground, then this first manoeuvre may not last long. However, so far there appears to be no resistance. Prig will most likely be taken out by a Putin loyalist, but that will simply release the next level of command to act freely seeking revenge.
It was always going to end this way. How messy it gets now depends on how quickly Putin is executed, to be frank. But many players and countries surrounding Russia will have made provisional plans to grab as much as they can during the Russian internal collapse.
Watch out for Russians being withdrawn from Ukraine to prop up Putin's regime. The main thrust of the long simmering counter-offensive can take place.
I did promise a very difficult few weeks for Russians inside Russia, watch the Partisans take full advantage as FSB are distracted to deal with Wagner friendly military units.
VORONEZH has fallen to the Wagner faction.
More to follow.
These captures of territory can only be achieved with the cooperation of forces on the ground.
The Russian troops know the truth first hand.
The whole house of cards is falling down.
