1/ Wagner Group fighters have been saying goodbye to their relatives over the past 24 hours and telling them to watch the TV news, which suggests that they may have had advance notice of today's dramatic events with Yevgeny Prigozhin.

2/ Verstka reports that worried relatives are saying in Wagner-related chat rooms that their loved ones have "called and said goodbye" in the last 24 hours, and told them to watch for "what [TV channel] Rossiya 24 has to say".

3/ Chat participant Elena Kigeleva says: "Yesterday many guys called and 'conditionally' said goodbye. Many said watch the news." Multiple participants say they can't reach their Wagner men.

4/ "My husband is still out of touch abruptly, always writing to give us a live stream , but today it's like this," one of them wrote. "Usually it is always a short call at 7-8 [pm], but today it is silent. I pray it's all a joke. I have no strength anymore."

5/ Relatives are worried what will happen to their men. "Our men will soon be recognised as terrorists," one user says. "So they really think someone's going to be able to reach Moscow and what? Storm the Kremlin?"

6/ "Fuck, it's the planet of the pink ponies [i.e. nonsense]," responded another member of the chat room.

Others have advised not panicking and waiting for official statements. "Watching Rossiya 24, there's silence," a user nicknamed Yelena says. /end
