Yeah this Prigozhin fella is going to spend the rest of his days looking over his shoulder now.
Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
That’s it?
Something feels off. Weird ending after the last 24hrs.

Probably it was the same before. He has been looking over his shoulder for a long time now.
The total chaos happened because of the guy, though. If he is gone and becomes irrelevant, their troops will be more organized and unified in that sense. Most of the main competent members of Wagner group were never fighting in UA. They are in the Africa trying to enrich themselves.
Putin and Russia have seemed weak and not good since a couple of months after the invasion. It is nothing new. Putin getting taken out would have given the UA big momentum. This one is probably not much for them, if any.
The total chaos happened because Russia is a mess.
Now, one of the actors is out. Is that better or worse for Russia's functionality during the war time?
Russia remains a mess. And now everyone knows that.
Of course this gives Ukraine momentum, to say anything else is, well, plain nonsense.
We are all disappointed this didn't last longer than it did, but come on, man.
I mean nothing is that simple in this war. I was hoping everyone would figure that out at this point. Apparently, not.
Another random theory, has Putin promised Belarus to Prigozhin?
It's the Russian military and government. Held together with very old sticky tape, just like their weaponry.
Imagine trying to spin this as a win for Russia, holy shit, but whatever, you do you, i guess.
I might be being a bit harsh and Ill informed here, but one of the things that has really made me angry during this war is the way Lukashenko has acted.
Holy sh*t, you are spinning that I think it is a win for RA. Imagine that.
Its a loss for RA, simple as that.
You sure? Everyone has been saying that they have been a mess since last year.
Wagnerök ? More like Pussy Riot.
I am not going to argue about the RA winning or losing here.
I was just pointing out that I may not necessarily sagree that what happened was a 'win' for UA. Probably mainly explaining myself to lower my own expectations in case the UA does not gain much in the next few days.

In term of how the battle is going in UA? I think it will be a loss for them once or after the UA troops capturing some more key territories.So, you think it is a loss for Russia after all?
Dude, Wagner literally delayed Russian supply-lines in their offensive against Ukraine, even for just a couple of days, what is there to argue?
You can say it isn't as much as you wanted, but this factor, along with others mentioned, makes it a win for Ukraine.
Can't bother to talk about this anymore, so have a good evening/night.

What a bizarre series of events. The clock has got to be ticking on Putin now, he won’t last much longer.
Yes, sure, but what's the point in having them there in the first place. Deterrence, surely.
Not easy to read the Belarusians, anyway, and I don't suggest they will enter the war anytime soon. And I wonder what would be in Belarus' interest in the long run, anyway, Russia winning the war, or Ukraine winning it.
I mean, we are all speculating here. Does not make your point more reasonable than others, or I can't disagree with it.
Not really, Wagner occupied Rostov and also mined the main supply routes during their advance.
Yeah, based on a couple of videos. Did you know how many mines they put on what routes for how many miles, etc.?
The guy even said that he was not interrupting the war efforts and was letting them do whatever they needed to do. So, are you still confident that it will delay the supply for the troops to the point that they will lose some key territories? I know I am not.
But he took a few helicopters and pilots down. That's what I called a good impact for the UA.
Oh, the spinnings in here 
Hopefully Ukraine makes the most out of this and NATO's resolve keeps going. We'll see how do russians, Russia's allies, and Wagnerites react in the following days. They're certainly not at their highest point right now.

From this is staged by Ukraine to Prigozhin supreme leader of Belarus, you are doing quite well in the imagination department
Was this part of the plan?
That happened a week ago no?
This feels like a warning shot to Putin. His conduct is also far more damaging than people are making out. Wagner just proved that the Russian people and the armed forces are not necessarily with Putin.
And he got mad and did this sh*t because they didn't accept it or the office was closed at that time? I am a bit confused by that video.
It happened 10 days ago, but its been said the cook might have planned this "coup" for 2 months. But I was a bit unsure how they would have set this up to have the lady shut the window on them? :-) If the papers would have been accepted Wagners would have belonged to the Russian Army and thus no coup.
Obviously this is bad for Putin and good for Ukraine. Exactly how good/bad remains to be seen.
Tanks on the streets and Putin fleeing Moscow can't have done internal stability any good if nothing else.

Can we get a "Bad for Vlad?" poll?
A suggestion from a friend of mine, is it possible that they had his family captive?
I mentioned this here, I think its possible. However, if you are going to do smth like this I'd have thought first thing is to fly your family somewhere safe.
The one thing that stood out for me in the last 24 hours, is how many 'Proud American Patriots' with US Flags on their bio are pro-Russia and see Putin as a hero.
I don't think this is the end. You don't lead a coup against a dictator, march towards the countries capital and then just turn around and all is well again. Especially within 24 hours. Putin will want revenge, despite the public appearance of all being well.
I except a few to fall 'sick' and a few to 'stumble' through a top floor window.
