It appears there are not many troops between them and Moscow...
All part of Putin’s plan. Prigozhin is a globohomo and is reported to be living in a biolab with Vicky Nuland.

But here is a piece of fact for our Russian friends. I see that one of the top Wagner military commanders has NAZI swastikas tatooed on his friggin shoulders, which he proudly displays! Meanwhile how much propaganda were we fed that some Ukrainians wear Nazi insignia?
It seems Prigozhin is “neocon”. Those damn neocons are everywhere and heck they really did intend to “attack Russia”.
Now is the time for Ukraine to hit Crimea hard and with all they have, take advantage of Russia’s distractions, confusion and big problems.
If Putin is overthrown Biden will seem like a genius and there will be no stopping him in 2024.
All the other stuff will go away.

Prigozhin and his mercenaries have apparently been bought out by Western intelligence agencies. Hopefully Putin manages to kill Prigozhin before he manages to flee with his loot. What a treacherous and traitorous scumbag.

This falls under the unwritten military rule of the 1960s.

And only HALF of what you see.”

Wagner operations are continuing in Russia. The rebels are confirmedly in Rostov and Voronezh, and they have been located in other areas as well.
This is most likely a well pre-planned operation, not a spontaneous or improvised one.
Wagner starts this from the position of an underdog, so actions must be carefully considered if long-term success is wanted.
Although there are plenty of shortcomings in the skills of a basic Russian soldier, the core of Wagner's professional soldiers are competent.
Russian leaders are facing an immensely difficult situation.
If they respond to this with heavy military actions aiming to fully eliminate and dissolve Wagner, it can affect the overall support for the war. The situation itself is already making Russia look weak.
The leader of the Belarusian opposition, Tykhanovskaya, also appealed to the Belarusian security forces to expel the Russian army from the country [video]
[Putin appointees:] Kots, Poddubny, Pegov all make clear statements of support for Putin after his speech. Another tells Russian soldiers to follow their oaths.
Who will control the nukes? Imagine that. A bloodthirsty violent mercenary group with nukes. What could go wrong?
Prigozhin has enlisted the support of [Sergey / Sergei] Surovikin and is transferring groups of mercenaries from Syria to Russia, - Russian media claim. There is currently no official confirmation of the information.
It is also reported that the leader of the "Wagner" PMC and the commander of the Air Force, Colonel-General Teplinsky, are on the side.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation warned Western countries against any hints about the possible use of the internal Russian situation to achieve their "Russophobic goals".
"Russian society resolutely supports the president, and the mutiny of the conspirators plays into the hands of the external enemies of the Russian Federation", - the Ministry claims.
