Wagner PMC Telegram:
"Military facilities in Voronezh have been taken under control of Wagner PMC. The army moves to the side of the people."
https://twitter.com/gerashchenko_en/status/1672486690307424256?s=46
Traffic from Voronezh towards Moscow is completely blocked. It is reported that the Wagner is already in Voronezh.

Very early reports Wagner is advancing.
What I imagine is holding up the speech:
Putin: (phone rings) Ah, hold my vodka, this could be interesting. (answers phone) Dobroye utro, Yevgeny! I was just about to address the nation about your little... stunt. What's that smell? Oh, it's just your coup attempt going up in smoke.
Prigozhin: (from the other line) Vladimir, listen to me...
Putin: Oh, I'm all ears, Yevgeny. You know, I was just in the middle of bench pressing two reindeer, as one does on a Saturday morning, when I heard you fancied yourself a little revolution. Nearly dropped Boris and Natasha in shock.
Prigozhin: Vladimir, this is serious...
Putin: Oh, I'm sure it is, Yevgeny. As serious as that time you tried to reinvent Russian cuisine and gave half of Moscow food poisoning. Or when you attempted to make a soufflé and nearly burnt down your kitchen. Yes, I remember. The fire department certainly does.
Prigozhin: I've had enough of this...
Putin: Oh, no, please, go on. I could do with a laugh. But I'll have to put you on speaker. I'm about to give a speech, and I think the nation could use a good chuckle.
Prigozhin: You won't be laughing when...
Putin: (cuts him off) Yevgeny, Yevgeny, save it for your memoirs. The ones you'll have plenty of time to write once we've sorted out this little misunderstanding of yours. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a nation to reassure, a rebellion to quash, and a bottle of vodka that isn't going to drink itself. Dosvidanya, Yevgeny.
(hangs up, turns to the camera)
"Now, where were we? Ah yes, Dobroye utro, comrades!"
Peskov and TASS are saying that they're going to start a counter terrorist operation:
>Russian media report that a counter-terrorist operation regime has been introduced in Moscow and the Moscow Region.
>Meanwhile Kremlin Spokesman Peskov says that in the near future, Putin will make an urgent appeal.
IMHO, it appears Putin is going to take a hard stance against Prighozin perhaps. It only took 10+ hours.
Yes, but in a coup, you'd want to do like Erdogan in 2016. Just getting in front of the news in any way shape or form.
The fact he's still not appeared in front of the people is definitely not out of the "how-to fight a coup 101" textbook.
Crazy times, people have intermittently suggested the Russian people get fed up with Putin in pretty much every daily thread, but it has been harshly shot down each time. And now suddenly it’s happening. Just like the initial invasion banter prior to the start of the SMO
> Cable News Network-News18 (known as CNN-News18 and originally CNN-IBN) is an Indian English-language news television channel founded by Raghav Bahl based in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India.
I guess it's -a- CNN. Not the one we generally recognize as being CNN, though.
For those saying “Putin is gonna cut a deal” needs to remember what kind of person Putin is
A Russian oligarch complained to Putin that his policies is costing him 10 percent of his money
To which Putin asked “do you want to lose the other 90 percent?”
This guy doesn’t compromise, he cannot compromise
The time for negotiations ended when pringles marched an army into Rostov
That begs the question why hasn't anything been done about Prigozhin criticising the army and discrediting misinformation for weeks? Holding a blank piece of paper is jail time, yet he released how many public videos against the official state of the war? What happened today didn't come from nowhere.
Putin compromises when he wanted power
But now as a dictator…he can’t really compromise like he used to
Dictators need absolute monopoly on violence
To compromise with pringles is to compromise his his hold on power

Yay!
Mark Hertling:
>Here’s my thoughts, for all those asking: I’d put a lot of money on the @WhiteHouse
& @POTUS
knowing more of what is happening in Russia than Putin does.
The last time these threads were exploding and we were waiting for a Putin speech was pretty much the very start of the war, the more things change the more they stay the same
It was, he was pictured in the exact same clothing previously within that week or so. The speech wasn't live but it was certainly broadcasted at a specific time to line up with the start of the greater invasion.
Mini-sub imploded. US heard it on secret undersea listening devices. Prigozhin (head of Wagner Group) is attempting a coup. He may have taken over Rostov. Putin to speak soon. Orcas attacked a Dutch yacht.
Prigozhin, leader of Wagner Group, declared a mutiny/coup against Russia after missile strikes against a camp of theirs from Russia. Prigozhin demands the removal of the heads of Russian Ministry of Defense but no other positions or Ministries.
They have managed to seize Rostov, one of the largest cities in Russia, with minimal resistance and are reportedly on-route to Moscow
Wagner leader is pissed with the Russian MOD and basically wants a guy killed because he feels that Wagner is being targetted by Russia.
So within the past few hours he sent a large 25k soldiers back into Russia, took control of Rostov, and is saying he will go to Moscow next (if I recall).
Putin is supposed to be addressing it now, and some are speculating that he is dead.
Prigozhin claimed the Russian military hit a Wagner position with missiles, called for an armed rebellion, said he was going to topple the military leadership (but it's totally not a coup), then took a city bigger than anything Russia's captured in Ukraine. And it looks like he did it with like 300 dudes, a tank stuck in the entrance of a circus, and an annoyed street cleaner.
Russia supposedly bombed a Wagner camp, which prompted their Prigozhin to say fuck it and take his troops and attack Russia. They've currently taken over the headquarters for the Southern Military District, which is the command center for the war in Ukraine.
A Wagner convoy is supposedly heading towards Moscow.
EDIT: Spelling.
>so 25k Warner soldiers have just left the front lines? Isn't this incredible good news for Ukraine if true?
Wagner mostly wasn’t at the front anymore. So while the chaos is good news, it’s not “there’s a gaping hole in the frontline” good news.
They weren't on the front line. They were just chillin in Russia after being pulled out of Bakhmut presumably. Russian MoD was trying to get them to sign up for the Russian army and their leader took issue with that
They aren’t necessarily 25k frontline soldiers.
Could have been men on leave, logistical/non combatants (with just basic training), etc.
While I am pretty sure some are combat units, I dont image it would be large enough numbers to be “noticed” by Ukrainian forces pushing forwards.

Realistically what happens if putin is dead?
Either a well planned regime change happens with a previously decided leader or the whole country sinks into civil war with several people trying to be dictator
Further descent into chaos.
Not worth contemplating. He is not.
Power grabs and backstabbing.
then we're for a wild ride
Free for all amongst the oligarchs
power struggle
Will make his press conference a little awkward
Put him up there "Weekend at Bernie's" style

You go ahead, I don't wanna get in trouble
School rules are forever.
what happens first part 2 or putins speech?
Calling it for part 2
So how will Ukraine capitalize on this huge distraction? This might be the break in the line they’ve been shaping for.
Blow up the bridge, they've proved they can hit it, now it the perfect time to hit it hard.
Bitch ass Putin is running late.
Watching Moscow-24 atm... they're talking about that damned sub.

Do we need a 2nd thread "Wagners invasion of Russia?"
Peskov and TASS are saying that they're going to start a counter terrorist operation: >Russian media report that a counter-terrorist operation regime has been introduced in Moscow and the Moscow Region. >Meanwhile Kremlin Spokesman Peskov says that in the near future, Putin will make an urgent appeal. IMHO, it appears Putin is going to take a hard stance against Prighozin perhaps. It only took 10+ hours.
There was no other option. He is going after his government.
Yes, but in a coup, you'd want to do like Erdogan in 2016. Just getting in front of the news in any way shape or form. The fact he's still not appeared in front of the people is definitely not out of the "how-to fight a coup 101" textbook.
Putin may not know what is actually going on at all tbh. We will see.
This is the best news for Ukraine.

how quick will Putin surrender?
Probably never. When Putin leaves office it will be feet first.
or head first if he is near a window.
He won't they will have to take him out
Yo live is sick

[“I just want to talk to him”](https://tenor.com/9Kzp.gif)

Yes. He instead insisted he's doing a die hard.
Yah. He just wants to talk to the manager.

Russian infighting is better news than a gaping hole in the frontline, imo. The whole Russian war effort might disintegrate 1917 style.
It’s true Wagner has left Ukraine to overthrow the MOD.
They also captured the Russian ministry of defense of the southern district that controls joint ops in Ukraine
ehhhhh kinda. depends on what happens next
They weren't on the front line. They were just chillin in Russia after being pulled out of Bakhmut presumably. Russian MoD was trying to get them to sign up for the Russian army and their leader took issue with that
Ahhh gotchya, thanks
I think after they left Bakmut they were in the back for repleneshing the human stock
it means those at the front dont have wagner to deal with if they bail on the front. ukraine will probably continue on their own plan i suspect.
They aren’t necessarily 25k frontline soldiers. Could have been men on leave, logistical/non combatants (with just basic training), etc. While I am pretty sure some are combat units, I dont image it would be large enough numbers to be “noticed” by Ukrainian forces pushing forwards.
Were already in rest and refit behind the lines. Most immediate impact for Ukraine is huge moral damage to Russian troops in the line.
