On the night of June 23rd at 21 hundred hours Prigozhin posted video footage of a Wagner camp that he claimed was deliberately struck by Russian forces killing dozens of his men. This might have been a false flag operation. A fake attack designed to justify the armed rebellion that would follow. Then Prigozhin released a series of statements on telegram that were aimed at every regular Russian soldier, he requested they join him in what he called his “ march of justice” against the incompetent Russian military leadership in the ministry of defense that had misled President Putin and lied to him to get him into the Ukraine war.

On June 24th at 4:44 in the morning he took between 8,500 and 4,000 of his most loyal mercenaries and up to 350 pieces of heavy equipment to take over the South Military district command in Rostov. Prigozhin claimed he had 25,000 mercenaries with him but that was likely an eggeration based on visual estimates of his forces. He had with him nine main battle tanks, some T-90, four Tigr vehicles, a Grad MLRS system, and a howitzer, a Pantsir S-1 air defense systems, and infantry fighting vehicles. If his plan was going to work Prigozhin needed to leverage his social media influence to convince regular Russian troops to revolt and join his small group of soldiers. He didn’t have enough manpower on his own. The reason he didn’t call this action a coup is two fold. First because it would be harder for Russian soldiers to swallow. They would be less sympathetic to join a coup which is seen as treason. But to revolt against the terrible Russian military leadership…. that they might stomach. Second, Not calling it a coup also gave him wiggle room to cut a deal if his plan failed he could say it was just simply a protest. Let’s look at what signals did Prigozhin have in front of him at the moment that might indicate he could convince regular Russian soldiers to join him? We know many Russian soldiers haven’t been paid and haven’t gotten leave to go home in months. Instead of the $2,560 they are owed each month Russian soldiers say they have been paid several times less than that each paycheck. Some regular soldiers and conscripts have complained about not being paid in two months straight. There are two things you cannot mess with when it comes to soldiers, you cannot screw with their paycheck and you can’t screw with their chow. Prigozhin also claimed Russian casualties are many times higher than reported by their ministry of Defense. If soldiers feel their lives are being wasted away they might be at a tipping point to revolt.

During a war, some cities, points or regions are more important than others. These cities had many strategically advantageous points. Dominance in these cities allows an army to establish a great superiority over its opponent during both defense and attack. In the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, there are many such cities.
One of these cities is Berdyansk. Located on the shores of the Sea of Azov, the city is indispensably valuable for both countries. When we look at the developments in recent days, we see that the Ukrainian army has brought forward its goal of reaching this city. The developments in and around Berdyansk confirm this. So what is happening in Berdyansk and why is the city important? Let’s take a look at the latest developments and reports on the importance of the city.
The counter-offensive launched by the Ukrainian army continues unabated on almost the entire front line. Many sources are reporting that Ukrainian troops are gaining the upper hand at many points on the frontline. However, the reports are not only about the front line. There are also remarkable developments in the attacks of Ukrainian troops behind the front line.
One of the important points behind the front line that Ukrainian troops have been targeting in recent days and even for a long time is the port city of Berdyansk. So much so that in recent days, Berdyansk seems to have been given priority in the Ukrainian army’s targets for the regions to be liberated. Ukrainian troops are regularly shelling the city on the western coast of the Sea of Azov with heavy artillery!
Over the past few days, Ukrainian artillery carried out a massive attack on the vicinity of the airport in Berdyansk using a large number of Storm Shadow missiles. Although Russian sources claim that the Storm Shadow missiles fired by the Ukrainian army were destroyed by air defense systems, local sources report that many missiles successfully hit their targets without being intercepted by the air defense system.

Medvedev wants to suspend diplomatic relations with UK, Finland, Poland and Baltic states

Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, believes that Russia should temporarily suspend diplomatic relations with the UK, Finland, Poland and the Baltic states.
SOURCE: an article by Medvedev in Rossiyskaya Gazeta (Russian Newspaper), an official Russian government media outlet
QUOTE: “It would be better to temporarily suspend diplomatic relations with Finland and similar countries (such as Poland, the Baltic states and, of course, the UK), or at least downgrade their level for a while.”
DETAILS: Medvedev also said that the results of the all-out confrontation between Russia and the West should be enshrined in a new document like the Helsinki Act.
In the article, in his traditional manner, Medvedev attempts to convince readers that Russia’s war against Ukraine is an “all-out confrontation between the notional collective West and the rest of the world” that will last for decades. Medvedev once again warns that this confrontation has brought the world to the brink of World War III, and if that happens, there will be a nuclear winter, epidemics and famine.
Medvedev also maintains that Russia’s goal is to “eliminate the threat of Ukraine’s membership of NATO” - a goal it is apparently going to achieve.
“If countries involved in conflict are not accepted into NATO, that means that the conflict will be permanent, because this is a question of Russia’s existence,” he also threatens.
In his article, Medvedev mentions some “reasonable compromises” that Russia is supposedly prepared to make, but then immediately lays down some conditions: the overthrow of the legitimate Ukrainian government and a legislative ban on the so-called “Nazi Kyiv regime” in Europe. He also threatens that “the West will have to accept this, unless it wants an apocalyptic end to our imperfect civilization”.

Russian Soldiers Who Do Not Want to Fight Drop Weapons!

An army full of soldiers who do not want to fight and do not believe in victory cannot succeed. Because success can only be achieved through faith. The Russian army, which is thought to have over 3 million soldiers with its reserve personnel, is one of the largest armies in the world in terms of the number of soldiers. However, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it has become clear that the strength of armies cannot be measured only by the number of soldiers.
Ten soldiers who believe in victory and are determined are stronger than 100 reluctant and faithless soldiers who don’t know what they are fighting for. When Russian leader Vladimir Putin began his invasion of Ukraine, he did not have the support of the Russian people.
Therefore, Putin faced many problems within the army throughout the war. The majority of Russian soldiers did not want to take part in the invasion of Ukraine. Because they found this war meaningless. Young people who were old enough for military service organized protests to avoid joining the army.
Military recruitment centers were set on fire. Despite all this, Putin did not give up on the occupation of Ukraine. Putin’s stubborn refusal to give up the occupation is causing Russian soldiers to lay down their arms! Since the beginning of the occupation of Ukraine, the number of Russian soldiers leaving the front line has been steadily increasing. So much so that Putin acknowledged this fact in September 2022 and declared a partial mobilization.
However, even this mobilization declaration could not overcome the shortage of military personnel in the Russian army. Because in the face of the failures in the war, Russian soldiers have chosen to surrender to Ukrainian troops or leave the front line.
Recently, the testimonies of Russian soldiers who claim to belong to the Storm Troop became a hot topic on social media. About 20 Russian soldiers, through a spokesperson they chose among themselves, expressed the problems in the Russian army and announced their refusal to fight! Because the soldiers’ losses and problems were increasing day by day. So much so that the spokesperson soldier in the video, pointing to about 20 soldiers, said: “Initially, upon arriving to the SMO [special military operation] zone, we had 150 people. After brutal fights, this is all what’s left us.”
Ukraine will run out of warm male bodies.
“...then immediately lays down some conditions: the overthrow of the legitimate Ukrainian government and a legislative ban on the so-called “Nazi Kyiv regime” in Europe. He also threatens that “the West will have to accept this, unless it wants an apocalyptic end to our imperfect civilization”.
putin/russia are not in a position to make demands LOL
this is a great time for China to take over Sibera
Come on, the same guy who said Marioupol would never be occupied by Vlad, the same guy who didn’t announce Soledar had fallen for ten days, said the Papasnaya breakout was doomed, said the Ukies had a “ million man army” offensive last year, said Artymovsk ( Bakmut) would hold, said the latest failed Ukie offensive was not their grand “ offensive”,….garbage in, garbage out.
Discernment is a gift, pray for it.

Defence forces advance on Bakhmut’s flanks, some units operate in the city

Defence forces are advancing on the southern and northern flanks around Bakhmut, and Ukrainian sniper groups and “some other units” are operating in the city itself.
SOURCE: Serhii Cherevatyi, spokesperson for the East Grouping of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, during the national joint 24/7 newscast
QUOTE: “There are no inside city intensive battles there [in Bakhmut – ed.], our sniper groups and some other units operate there, about which we can say something later. The massive onslaught continues on the southern and northern flanks around the city.
We’re advancing there. When we verify it, we will confirm it – we will tell you the details.”
DETAILS: According to Cherevatyi, the defence forces seized the initiative on the Bakhmut front.
“If the enemy attacked us for 10 months, now we are pressuring the enemy, but we are pressuring with completely opposite tactics – we are using all the achievements of domestic and world military science, unmanned aerial vehicles, reconnaissance, high-precision systems to destroy the enemy, to break through passages in minefields. And step by step, without emergency actions that can lead to heavy losses, we are advancing. And in principle, we are fulfilling the set tasks of assault on the enemy,” he said.
The spokesman also said that last week on the Bakhmut front, the Ukrainian military were taking prisoners almost daily.
“The previous week was full of captures, in fact, prisoners were taken. This day is unremarkable – only 1 prisoner, but there were also 8-10 prisoners per day. These are different types of units, both of the enemy’s regular army and veterans of the [Wagner] private company that included people with a criminal past,” Cherevatyi said.
According to him, the convicts are mainly people who are not highly educated and of a low social status.
“We did not see highly motivated or highly trained specialists among them,” the spokesman added.

putin is a known liar:
“We know many Russian soldiers haven’t been paid and haven’t gotten leave to go home in months. Instead of the $2,560 they are owed each month Russian soldiers say they have been paid several times less than that each paycheck.”
he is also stupid: don’t treat your troops badly, they may turn on you
Yeah, plus, with Prigo in Belarus and 30k of his boys, now you have to spread Ukrainian forces even thinner, and all the Ukrainian males with money are now in Poland.
Absolute pointless war and there needs to be some castigation of NATO as they could have saved a quarter of a million Ukrainian men’s lives by just swallowing their pride. Now they think THEY’RE in an existential conflict too.
“We know many Russian soldiers haven’t been paid and haven’t gotten leave to go home in months.”
Putin also is cremating the dead Russia soldiers without recording identifications to avoid payments to their families.
