The owner of the Wagner private military contractor made his most direct challenge to the Kremlin yet on Friday, calling for an armed rebellion aimed at ousting Russia’s defense minister. The security services reacted immediately by opening a criminal investigation into Yevgeny Prigozhin and calling for his arrest.
In a sign of how seriously the Kremlin was taking the threat, security was heightened in Moscow and in Rostov-on-Don, which is home to the Russian military headquarters for the southern region and also oversees the fighting in Ukraine.
Prigozhin claimed Saturday that his forces had reached Rostov, saying they faced no resistance from young conscripts at checkpoints and adding that his forces “aren’t fighting against children.”
“But we will destroy anyone who stands in our way,” he said. “We are moving forward and will go until the end.”
He claimed that the chief of the General Staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, scrambled warplanes to strike Wagner’s convoys, which were driving alongside ordinary vehicles.
Prigozhin said Wagner field camps in Ukraine were struck by rockets, helicopter gunships and artillery fire on orders from Gerasimov following a meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, at which they decided to destroy Wagner.

The Ukrainians supposedly paused their attack tonight.
Prigozhin has achieved a cease fire !
Prigojin said today what all sane people knew all along:
That Russia indeed completely lied about Ukraine. Ukraine was never the aggressive one, and only tries to defend itself against Russia’s invasion, greed and lust for imperialism.
Wagner is now supporting the Ukraine narrative and truthfulness. Way to go !!
Prigojin is merely saying that the Kremlin are a bunch of spoiled deep-state politicians suffering from greed.
KREMLIN: “Is this a civil war?”
PRIGOZHIN: “It’s a civil special military operation.”
KREMLIN: “Is this a civil war?”
PRIGOZHIN: “It’s a civil special military operation.”

Well said ! :) :) :)
PS.
Today is a nightmare-day for the Sovietoiids on FR!
Because Prigozhin has openly said today that Ukraine has been telling the truth all along! WOW!
Putin’s silence is interesting. Is he perhaps engineering this behind the scenes? Still hard to figure out exactly what this is.
25 or so years ago my famy and I made a road trip from Michigan to Connecticut and Massachusetts and visited a Mark Twain house out there. Have you ever? Given your tag id...
I have not.
The pro Putin folks are lost
Putin lost control of Prigozhin. Civil war in Rossiya.
“The pro Putin folks are lost”
I’m still waiting for the protests (but don’t expect much with Putin at 80% approval).
I’m still waiting for people in government to defect (nothing yet).
I’m still waiting for elements of the military to defect (nothing yet).
Pretty silly at this point - more like the Jan 6th attempt to overthrow the US government.

Indeed! They have vanished, vaporized and disappeared.
The troll factories in Moscow and St. Petersburg have other things to do right now...
“It is a long way to move armor. Fortunately for Wagner there are tanks waiting for them in Moscow.”

Yes, we can now hope that parts of the Russian army will side with Prigozhin. Next step : Prigozhin tells the world that the war against Ukraine was based on Kremlin deep-state invited excuses and false propaganda.
He already said that yesterday actually!
Amen. Either way this goes in Moscow the war in Ukraine will be untenable for Russia. It should end soon.
I wouldn’t know about the “pro Putin” folks as I am 100% pro MAGA. Now you pro administration cheerleaders are left with nothing but laughable administration hope porn about the demise of Putin. Cheer up Bucky, Putin will probably die again this week for you.
