This is sounding more and more like a TV Show.


Yeah, I agree.

The Special Purposes Mobile Unit of the Russian National Guard (OMON) and the Federal Security Service (FSB) are reported to be currently Raiding the Offices and Headquarters Building for the Wagner Group in the City of St. Petersburg.


I wonder if the time in Ukraine has caused Prigozhin to go crazy. Sometimes it happens when people are in theater too long, or they may "go native" when paired with locals for a prolonged period etc.

They now control the entire military infrastructure in Rostov-On-Don (RoD).

RoD is the center of gravity for Russian operations in Ukraine. It's the location of the Russian army headquarters in charge of the war. It is a major communications, logistics, supply, and reserves hub. The rail lines that supply Crimea and all of Eastern and Southern Ukraine, run through RoD. Wagner won't have any supply issues at all in RoD.

If the reports are true and other Russian army units are joining Wagner, Russia has a really big problem.

Whoever wins this struggle we need to hope that they are able to do it quickly and cleanly. Wagner needs to be completely wiped out or the entire Russian military needs to flip. A protracted civil War only increases the possibility that the thing goes global.

Went to sleep for a bit, woke up and read some updates on Twitter.

I think Prigozhin went crazy.

If the stories are true, the Wagner solders are pissed that they were not given enough ammo and weapons to win offenses.


Also the Russian army targeted them.

"The whole of April and May, Prigozhin lied about the alleged ‘projectile famine,’ the 1st and 7th Assault Squads have a huge stockpile of MANPADS and captured Javelins. A source from Prigozhin's security service said that preparations for this scenario took more than 2 months"

Maybe not.





But, here is what I was referencing.



quote:

Prigozhin, a catering mogul and close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, could be heard in the gruesome footage hurling a string of profanities directed at Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov.

“Shoigu! Gerasimov! Where is the f—ing ammunition?!” Prigozhin demands while standing in front of about 30 blood-soaked uniformed corpses lying on the ground. He says they are Wagner fighters who were killed on Thursday alone.

“These are someone’s fathers and someone’s sons,” Prigozhin says, pointing at the bodies. “The bastards that don’t give us ammunition will eat their f—ing guts in hell!”



Doesn't make it true.

May have been a ploy to get Russian MOD to plus up Wagner's ammo supply, because Wagner has no organic support.

This is a circus right now.

I admit, I'm not up on Wagner current events, or even much on how such the organization got its start, how it operates, etc... Al Jazeera of all places has a basic tutorial on Wagner.

It all reads like an improbable movie script, the rise of power from a former hotdog stand owner, gaining power and influence with Putin, to now on the verge of waging an assault on Moscow.

The public has been bringing food and water to Wagner troops occupying Rostov. "It's the humane thing to do"

No fricking way. All of Mother Russia is united to further Christendom, eradicate the Nazis, expose the bio labs and Biden's corruption. This must be fake news.
