The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine published operational information regarding the Russian invasion as of 6:00 p.m. on June 25, 2023.
As Censor.NET informs, this was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

If Wagner was the most effective part of the Russian offensive, and Wagner is dispersed into Russia now and without their leader, will what is left of the Russian army in Ukraine be a capable fighting force? Seems like a fair question, anyway.

Good point!
Certainly hope this is a real possibility!

In the opinion of French President Emmanuel Macron, the mutiny of the leader of the “Wagner” PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin showed that “there is a split in the Russian camp.”
He stated this in an interview with La Provence, Censor.NET reports.
“I followed the events hour by hour, maintaining contact with the main partners of France,” he said.
According to Macron, the situation showed the fragility of the Russian army, as well as “its auxiliary forces, such as the Wagner PMC.”
He added that “all this should force us to be very vigilant and fully justifies the support we provide to the Ukrainians in their resistance.”

As Censor.NET reported, on the evening of 23 June, the Russian army fired a missile at the “Wagner” PMC camp. In response, the PMC leader announced a march on Moscow. Instead, the FSS accused him of armed rebellion and opened a criminal case.
Prigozhin later claimed that his troops had entered Rostov. He claims that the “Wagner” PMC has seized the city and the headquarters of the southern district. Next, Prigozhin is going to march on Moscow to remove the Russian military leadership from power.
On 24 June, Alexander Lukashenko, in agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, held talks with Yevgeny Prigozhin. As a result of the talks, the head of the Wagner PMC said that he was deploying the group’s fighters to field camps. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3426941
Russia controls it, openly brags about mining it just like the Kakhovka Dam.
Time to catch up on the other war.
Russia tends to go for tit-for-tat escalation after humiliation. They lose a battle, after the media buzz dies down then flood social media with claims Russia really won. Or retaliate by committing a war crime in revenge.
putin is weakened in russia now. The unwritten deal was:
putin would keep the people safe and handle politics
and the people would not involve themselves in those politics
now Prigozhin has shown that putin is weak,
he brought an army with him into russia, into putin’s territory
everything has changed now...
putin is not the *strong man* he promised he would be
putin does not know how to come clean or take responsibility
he may go downhill from here
May it be so!

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and eighty seventh day of the war.
Day 487: Jun 25
The unexpectedly rapid and peaceful reconciliation of the conflict between the Russian Ministry of Defense and the private military company the Wagner Group, especially as there is no confirmation that Prigozhin’s demands were met, left many people very suspicious.
Some analysts started building theories as to how such a large-scale act could be used to achieve strategic objectives and concluded that this would be a great opportunity to redeploy forces to the Kharkiv region and take the city into a pocket, as the returning from Moscow Wagner forces were very close to the Belgorod region. It is reasonable to some extent to consider such a possibility because both sides are monitoring each other’s movement of troops very tightly, and the only way to show up somewhere unexpectedly is by tricking the other party into thinking that they don’t need to care about it.
However, firstly, it’s not like all of the Wagners were heading north – most troops were occupying Rostov and military objects nearby. So, the Wagner forces got dispersed. Secondly, there is not much of Wagners left anyways. According to Prigozhin, he had 85 thousand troops to take Bakhmut, and it took him more than 8 months and mindboggling losses to take it. The Kharkiv front is 10 times bigger, Kharkiv itself is 10 times bigger, and Ukrainians have tens of thousands of soldiers in the region. So, even if all Wagner units suddenly redeployed here, the prospect of a quick victory would be virtually non-existent. Besides, Russian forces had already tried to take Kharkiv with more troops and under much better conditions, and it ended up in a disaster. Lastly, Wagner forces were initially in Luhansk, so making a several-day detour towards Moscow is less productive.
And this is where other analysts concluded that, in reality, Wagner forces are redeploying to Belarus to attack Kyiv or Lviv. On the surface, this also ties in nicely with the fact that the President of Belarus, Lukashenko, got involved and eventually offered shelter to Prigozhin. However, all previous points remain relevant counterarguments here as well: dispersing troops by occupying Rostov would be counterproductive, the front line is 30 times bigger, Ukrainians have tens of thousands of soldiers on guard, Russians already tried anyways, and here there are also dense forests, which prove to be an extremely hard barrier. On top of that, during the mutiny, Russian forces lost 7 aircraft and 15 pilots. Half of them are extraordinarily valuable. And this is not taking into account the blown-up Wagner convoys and violent engagements with the regular Russian forces that were caught on camera and shown in my previous video.
Nonetheless, one thing the Wagner mutiny actually achieved was completely cutting off supplies of the eastern Russian Group of forces for at least two days and confusing the soldiers on the ground, of which Ukrainians successfully took advantage. Ukrainian fighters from the Bakhmut region reported that when Prigozhin posted a video and said that the regular Russian forces bombed Wagner camps and the Wagner forces were marching on Moscow, the Russian radio exchanges became completely wild, and eventually, it caused a series of violent confrontations between the regular Russian formations and a few Wagner units that were still in Bakhmut to help.
First of all, Ukrainian fighters from the 24th Assault Brigade reported that Ukrainians finally breached the Russian defense in the tree line along the road and started storming the last remaining fortification on their Way to Klishchiivka, namely, the infamous trench network on the hill. Secondly, after clearing the tree line, Ukrainians could attack Russian positions in the forest from 2 sides, and by the end of the second day, the Ukrainian 5th Assault Brigade reportedly cleared up to 40% of the forest.
However, the biggest news by far is that Ukrainian crossed the Dnipro River and established a bridgehead on the eastern bank near the Antonivskyi Bridge. Geolocated footage confirms that Ukrainian boats have deployed Ukrainian forces to this region. Russian forces tried to chase Ukrainians away with direct assault, however, they faced tough resistance. Ukrainians posted footage of Ukrainian helicopters targeting Russian assault units. Eventually, Russian sources reported that the units on the ground got almost encircled, which is why they decided to retreat.
