Looks like Wagner sustained casualties in Popasna. Notably, photos were published a few days ago showing Yevgeny Prigozhin at a building in the city, which some dubbed as Wagner’s headquarters.

A Russian Telegram channel confirms that there was a strike on a Wagner position in Popasna likely by HIMARS. 3/

Apparently, the same building where these photos were taken was struck. Incredibly bad opsec this far into the war if true, particularly in a location well within the range of HIMARS. 4/

Another Russian Telegram channel says that the people he knows who work for Prigozhin say that haven’t seen him since he went to the front. “Everyone is in a mild panic.” 7/

The same channel says Wagner fighters told them Progozhin is alive. 8/

Another Russian account is saying that his sources say Prigozhin is alive. 9/

Another Russian Telegram channel says sarcastically that the accounts sharing geo-locatable photos of Wagner positions in Popasna are acting as honorary artillery observers for the Ukrainian military. 10/

The account that shared the photos of Prigozhin in Popasna has deleted them. 11/
Russian Channels are sharing photos of Prigozhin with Wagner veteran and Hero of Russia Andrey Bogatov though it is unclear when they were actually taken. 12/

The Director of Russia’s Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Dmitry Shugaev said that Russia exported more than $14 billion worth of arms in 2021.
t.me/rian_ru/174453 Image
Shugaev also claimed that Russia's arms export portfolio has reached $57 billion after signing $16 billion worth of contracts so far in 2022. I would bet this includes many contracts that will never be executed. 2/

He also said that there are a number of cases of countries reexporting Russian arms to Ukraine in violation of the terms of the contracts, most notably the deliveries of Mi-17V-5 helicopters purchased for Afghanistan. 3/

It looks like the Black Sea Fleet's 43rd Naval Attack Aviation Regiment lost more than half of the aircraft in its Su-24M/MR squadron and nearly half of its Su-30SM squadron.
I think UAVs are also based at Saki, which were likely lost as well. 2/
