Russian mercenary chief says his troops have reached Rostov-on-Don following call for armed rebellion
Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin posted a video in the Russian city, which oversees the war in Ukraine
Based on last two hours (looking at German news and Twitter feeds)...it would appear that interstate crew of Wagner is probably half-way up to Moscow, and whatever remains in Rostov...is there to keep Russian Army folks busy and not reacting to the coup.
I’d just suggest public support in Rostov is either neutral or pro-Wagner at present. Not sure how it’d be viewed in Moscow.
Airplane typically used for Putin left 3 to 4 hours ago...toward St Petersberg. Doesn’t mean he’s on board though. Same for number 2 guy....he left in some private plane with his family. Nothing much from Duma folks today.
Lot of video seen on Twitter of preparations around Moscow....but I doubt if there’s more than 5,000 troops in the local area, and the police are mostly worthless.
