It’s 700 miles by road from Rostov to Moscow. There are several hundred wagner guys, and Moscow is a city of 13 million. Nobody is rolling to Moscow. I’d think troops on roads around Moscow, assuming that is true, were to prevent any local military from joining in. That’d make more sense.
Its 390 miles by road from Voronezh to Moscow, and Wagner got to Voronezh about 2:00 AM, CST. Gunfire is heard in Voronezh
Obviously Wagner Group is not going to defeat the balance of the armed forces of the Russian Federation. The question is: Do they have to, or will said armed forces stand by, or actually join in the coup?
The Russian army, at least the one in Rostov, has thrown in with Prigozhin.
It may be the military is looking for a way out of Ukraine and Putin has kept the war for too long.
