All I'm saying is that this account is known for posting anything he comes across on Telegram so it should be taken with a pinch of salt
Holy shit. So what's the status on bakmut if they are basically turning around and headed to Moscow.
Quite interesting developments
thats two military officials now doing plea's to wagner forces in the same room/camera.
Gentlemen, you can't fight here. This is the war room!
Surely Ukraine aren’t standing still now? It must be chaos on the Russian front lines
Trouble is, much of southern and eastern Ukraine is mined now, so they wouldn’t be able to move as quickly if they tried. Also, all Russian troops are still on the ground there. Only Wagner appear to have left.
This is the general who supposedly was Prigozhin's closest ally in the army. VERY interesting that he is the first general to tell Prigozhin to stand down.
This could be an elaborate trap. Ukraine has to be very careful.
Just got back from a meeting & perused the last few pages.
Can't wait to start seeing daylight clips of who is where & in what condition.

If this is all Prigozhin has I dont think Putin or Shoigu has much to worry about.
What’s an MI-28, a more souped up version of the MI-24 Hind?
Correct. The MI-24 is an attack hellicopter with troop transport capabilities while the MI-28 is a pure attack hellicopter.
I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for the 24 due to how the Wolverines took one out in Red Dawn.
This has been a really good resource for updates, thanks
Someone I follow on Twitter (probably Eliot Higgins or Christo Grozev) posted it when the war broke out, and it seems to be very well curated.
I had many doubts that they'd make it into Rostov.
Shit is getting real 
I'm really getting the feeling this is all being done to test the loyalties in Moscow and see if secondary coups can be started. Wagner launch and attack on their own state and now what? Great you've got a building. Next move?
It's 5.30am in Rostov.
The streets are surely not that busy with pedestrians and people hanging out.
I'm not sure those pictures are recent.

According to Telegram Wagner has captured the headquarters of the southern military district and the building of the ministry of internal affairs in Rostov
A good thread for anyone seeking a summary of events.
