He needs to stay away from windows and award ceremonies.
Channels associated with Wagner report that their camp was hit by a massive rocket attack. According to the reports of Wagners fighters, the attack was inflicted from the rear. Meaning Russian Federation forces would be behind this attack. Needs verification but sounds epic.
The start of a coup in Russia?
“The evil that the military leadership of the country bears must be stopped. I ask you not to resist anyone. Everyone who tries will be destroyed. Justice in the troops will be restored, and after that, justice in all of Russia,” Prigozhin says.
Prigozhin claims that “Russian MoD carried out a missile strike at Wagner rear camps”.
Evgeniy Prigozhin published an audio message claiming that a “huge number of Wagner fighters have died” in the “missile strike” and that the “next step belongs to Wagner”.
Shortly before Prigozhin’s claim, a video emerged on a Russian channel “Razgruzka Vagnera” where two Russian-speaking men can be seen roaming an area of the alleged “missile strike”, panicked. This is the video Prigozhin references in his audio message.
If this story is completely made up, it’s being executed very poorly. The video is not very convincing that it’s real and not staged.
Girkin: “A coup attempt is underway”.
Later: “If this isn’t a fake (which it can be), the military coup has started. But if it isn’t a fake, then the situation with the face-off between MoD and Wagner is out of control and needs immediate involvement by the president. If we still have him at all…”
I think yeah - Prigozhin has realized Putin opted towards the regular military and the ministry of defense, not him.
And now it’s either him going all-in or him being done forever.
Shoigu is a loyal arse-licker who knows his place. Putin was always going to favour him and his military faction over the orc chieftain.
Russian telegram channels are a complete mess right now. Mass hysteria to put it mildly.
Ukrainian “Bakhmut Demon”
:
"The leftovers of Wagners on the outskirts of Bakhmut opened fire on the regular roads of the Russian Federation.
Our assault brigades see everything, systematic strikes are now being carried out on the positions of the Russians.
You would hear the radio broadcast of these *** now.
The impression is that part of the Russian regular troops are killing their own, and it seems that part of the military is supporting Prigozhin. While it is not clear what is finally happening, it is a bloodbath"
It’s official
“
Putin has been informed about the situation around Prigozhin, all the necessary measures are being taken” Peskov said.
I just spoke to someone with contacts inside Wagner - he confirmed that this wasn’t theatre, and that Prigozhin is making a move. “It’s not clear exactly what’s happening right now, but it’s not nothing.”
Igor Girkin now says that Prigozhin is lying – there was no attack on any Wagner base – and if the state wanted to eliminate Wagner then eliminating Prigozhin himself would be enough.
I think Wagner has more cards that most people give them credit for, lots of resources from Africa are moving through them, other places too, not so sure Pootsy can kill the head but keep the body alive.
… or, y’know, just not invading

1/ Wagner Group fighters have been saying goodbye to their relatives over the past 24 hours and telling them to watch the TV news, which suggests that they may have had advance notice of today’s dramatic events with Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Putin is now deploying both the military and the siloviki factions against Prigozhin. He’s a dead man walking.
Just surprised it’s taken this long.
