Explains Western intel saying Prigo was dramatizing the ammo shortfall. If this is true, he was stockpiling it for exactly this moment.
Also, captured Javs… it now appears likely U.S. weapons will be used by Russians inside Russia.
Girkin: "The rebels have successfully passed Voronezh and are advancing through the territory of the Lipetsk region. They boast that they shot down the forward outposts of the Russian Guard and took trophies" t.me/strelkovii/5680
Ha ha ha ha!
The moment the Russian Air Force hit a truck in the Voronezh region.
Rostov residents giving Wagner fighters food and water.
Wagner now mining Rostov streets.
Prigo in a new recording: "We did not kill a single person on the road. We captured the headquarters building in Rostov without firing a single shot. We did not interfere with the work of a single person. There are people standing on the street with PMC flags."
Patriotism for thee, but not for me.
From "Kyiv in three days" to "Moscow in two."
In fairness, this is the Jackie Robinson Parkway on a good day. I should try a coup in Queens.
Good catch here by Sasha. Even in the midst of incipient civil war, Prigo claims credit for what a number of Americans say was a "hoax" -- interfering in a U.S. election:
An alleged source close to the Russian General Staff: "Putin doesn’t need a big shooting, so the number one task is to precisely eliminate Prigozhin and tear off the backbone of Wagner from him, promising an amnesty for all this disgrace." t.me/istories_media…
People in Rostov aren't fighting Wagner, they're fighting one another:

Er, so Putin caved to a putschist with an army and agreed to make the MoD more amenable to him, after the putschist showed how well he can challenge the regime. And the guy gets to live? Things are wild, weird and unpredictable in Russia but this doesn’t quite convince.
Playing the scenarios here, and the only one that makes sense — assuming this deal is indeed legitimate — is that Prigo had allies in very high places and Putin had no choice. But even then, how does Putin survive under those circumstances. He’s a hostage, not a tsar.

Another bromance hits the skids.

Very little information confirmed so far but he has gone quite far now — he said these things — and I can’t see this being shrugged off. cnn.com/2023/06/23/eur…
RIA Novosti reports the FSB has opened a criminal case because of Prigozhin’s comments: t.me/rian_ru/206667
Surovikin releases a video imploring Wagner not to attack Russian soldiers, says they’re the same blood, etc.

.@holger_r and I spoke to "Karl," the Estonian military analyst. His thoughts on the Ukrainian counteroffensive, the Kakhovka Dam, and Belgorod: 🧵
"The last time we spoke, I came to the conclusion that Ukraine is showing the first signs of activation on the fronts. Now this activation has increased. In addition to attacks in the rear, they are also carrying out cautious attempts at a ground offensive."
"For the time being, progress is scarce. A few tens of square kilometers have been liberated. This is only natural given how long it took to liberate Kherson from the moment the first attacks were launched there."

New at @4freerussia_org, with @pierrevaux. A deep dive into the fascistic, Chekist and cultish elements involved in Russia's two invasions of Ukraine. A report almost a decade in the making. 4freerussia.org/vile-bodies/ Image
In the dying days of the USSR, the KGB infiltrated and controlled a number of ideologically extremist far-right movements such as Pamyat -- movements that birthed a ragtag collection of Russian spooks seemingly at odds with the regime they served.
In particular, we profile three key figures in the 2014/2015 war, all of whom cut their teeth in the early 90s opposition to Yeltsin during the Russian constitutional crisis.
