"Ukrainian soldiers near the Belarusian border say that the high number of beaver dams, which locals haven’t cleared because of the war, have helped flood the Volyn swamps - making the area much easier to defend"
“There have been suggestions that Prigozhin is hoping to use Wagner to secure a victory to strengthen his own political position in Russia and gain control over lucrative salt and gypsum mines in this area of Ukraine.”
Sounds about right.
This whole invasion of the Ukraine is a mafia extortion racket on a grand scale.
