So meanwhile any guesses on Ukrainian Counter-Offensive operations to liberate Russian Occupied territory?

Craziest day in Russian politics since October 4, 1993.

Still way to early to say, this could be over in days, or the Wagner PMC could simply start controlling operations vs Ukraine from Rostov while a bizarre, very Russian power struggle is still fought.

Remember the Bolsheviks put down Tambov, White Russians and still managed to invade Ukraine.

It is now being claimed that Prigozhin has taken Voronezh... which, if true, would be the second Russian oblast capital under Wagner control following Rostov.

Бомбить Воронеж (Bomb Voronezh)

The organizers of this operation have a great sense of humor.

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

Nothing super surprising in the speech, Putin called it treason and said Russia will defend itself. Did not mention Prigozhin by name, oddly.

He’s still hedging his bets. I don’t think he’s 100% certain that opposing Wagner is the right move.

Russian state TV carried footage of soldiers surrendering to Wagner. This is severe erosion of state authority.

[Horus]

Putin looks really bad.

[politicallefty]

Prigozhin doesn't really seem to have much of a choice but to push to the end. If this is really happening, someone's going to be dead (I mean someone at the top).

[Oleg 🇰🇿🤝🇺🇦]

I'm sure it will end in nothing. As I suggested in this thread earlier, this is clearly being done to expose the anti-Putin Russian nationalists for security services, and also as an attempt to win over the Russian Volunteer Corps and Freedom of Russia.

Former richest man in Russia, he was one of the oligarchs Putin went after in his first term in office. Exiled in London:

QED. The first deceived group of Russians who will run straight into the jaws of the secret department of the FSO.

Damn, this works too well. Putin is the greatest expert of Russian thinking.

Who’d have thought selecting people for their violent and antisocial tendencies, training them in advanced combat, arming them and sending them off to fight a war for you could have a downside.

Wagner was good for Putin. Until it wasn't.

[Coldstream]

Personally I never got why people saw Prigozhin as a potential political successor, to me he always seemed an Ernst Rohm type rather than a politician.

Lmao this shows how power can get over someone’s head. This millionaire mercenary believes that he can be the new Russian leader considering he’s “in charge” in the battleground.

People are being naive or blinded by their anti-Putin status quo if they think this guy ruling Russia is better for Ukraine or for the world. Keep the nuclear weapons away from the Wagner Group pls.

I don’t want him ruling Russia. Or Putin ruling Russia. What I want is chaos. Destruction of the Russian regime. Preferably in a game of thrones style free for all where Putin and all his bois end up offing eachother.

I guess you’ll have to move on to cheerleading for Xinnie the Pooh next

I am sorry but this is beyond Moronic given how many nuclear weapons Russia has . Do you want rogue extremist groups to suddenly get access to nuclear weapons because that would just be a disaster for the world .

How is the Putin regime not a rogue extremist group lol

I mean look at the alternatives:

- Wagner Group

- Russian Hardliners that make Putin look sane

- Chechen Terrorists

- Other Russian Seperatists


Do you really want nukes to fall into the hands of one of these 4 groups

[Oleg 🇰🇿🤝🇺🇦]

In Russian there is an expression играть кино (to play a movie), which means to perform actions to mislead. I hope the merging of the Russian Volunteer Corps with Wagner will not lead to the fact that one day Denis Nikitin will discover that there is a sledgehammer on his head.

You know better than me how this campaign began and how it ended. Something similar is happening here.

This is comparison is beyond absurd in every possible way. Chechnya was led by radical Islamists and would have been a complete breeding ground for terrorism if they ever became a nation and its good they lost. Second comparing an nation that has been independent for more than 3 decades and has been internationally recognized as so to a region of an existing country that wants to become its own country is completely absurd as well.

Lastly I never said Chechnya as a whole, I said Chechen Terrorists because if Russia falls into anarchy , then there is no doubt that terrorist groups in Chechnya will try to get some of those nukes.

you're similar to those people who see putin as an ally because they're islamophobes.

Ukraine had to fight for their independence at some point too. It's not like "they grant you just independence". I mean America also had to fight for independence at some point.
