A russian to explain what is happening?

Prigozhin, audio message 12:46PM BST, on support by the locals and the "mine barrier" in Rostov:

"Why is the country supporting us? Because we went with a March for Justice. We were hit, first with artillery, then with helicopters. We went without a single round fired, we didn’t touch a single conscript. We didn’t kill a single person on our way.

We were attacked by aviation, helis, planes, but we reached Rostov. Without a single round, we captured the building of the HQs. We didn’t interfere with the work of a single person.

On the streets, people are unfurling flags of PMC Wagner. In shops, when guys go there, people ask to pay for them as they want to do something good.

Words of compliments are voiced. And another thing. In media, information about certain “mine barriers” are spread. When we came here, we removed these mine barriers from the adjacent building of the HQs, in the morning. It was poorly placed. It was just an unprofessional, not useful idea. So we removed this mine barrier."

Moscow right now:

Moscow is preparing for a siege. The city is practically isolated by police and military units.
All military equipment, which until now remained in reserve and in the border regions, is being withdrawn to Moscow.

Of course Putin is not there anymore.
(Earlier, Peskov said that Putin works in the Kremlin today.)

A couple of times he let it slip that he would like to take the post of Minister of Defense and even does not mind becoming the president of Russia after Putin leaves.

> The "boyars" did not like this, and they took steps to streamline relations between the army and PMC Wagner. Prigogine ignored this.
> Perhaps he was provoked into open rebellion. But this rebellion is not against the tsar, but against some boyars. Prigozhin has no political program, no party. This rebellion is doomed. The people did not support Prigozhin - on the contrary, they consider him a traitor.

> PS. I forgot an important detail: the headquarters of the SVO is located in Rostov, and Prigozhin met with two deputies of the Minister of Defense and said that he would not interfere with the work of the headquarters.

This is interesting, because in my sources they say the russian people support the Wagner group in general, and you are saying they don't.

The truth is so hard to reach

Rostov, about 30 minutes ago:

Of course Putin's propaganda wants Russian people to believe that the people don't support Prigozhin.
Reality is much more complicated.

> russian people support the Wagner group
Yes, the people support the Wagner fighters, and believe that Prigozhin deceived them and uses them to solve his problems.
Kasparov, Khodarkovsky and their friends support Prigozhin. They are also Russian people.
Although recently Prigogine was their worst enemy.

@PTX187

Here are Kasparov’s words:
"If this is a color revolution in Russia, it’s the color of money. Crooks fighting thugs for turf and resources and the power to hold them. Prigozhin could end up dead or like another Kadyrov, bought off to murder for the regime again. No honor among thieves & killers"

No, Kasparov definitely doesn't support Prigozhin.

That would be against everything he stands for.

I strongly recommend reading his book "Winter Is Comming". The current Russia is brilliantly described there.

Prigozhin is the same kind of war criminal like putin himself. But chaos and civil war in russia are very useful for Ukraine. In the war between "жаба і гадюка" (frog and snake) we genuinely support both sides!

Few minutes ago Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya appealed to the Belarusian military with a call to kick the Russian army out of the country.

This would be so nice.

Belarus has been occupied by Russian Army way too long.

I remain pesimistic about Belarus' short time prospects, though.

Unfortunately, the submarine "Titan" imploded in the Atlantic a few days ago.

And today, fortunately, the Russian regime is imploding with its terrorist dictator Putin.

Leonid Nevzlin:
"Putin is hiding in the bunker of his residence in Valdai.
His closest friends and associates also flew there.

The dictator is in a panic.

Additional troops advanced towards Valdai to protect him. My sources just said this."

There is no way to confirm this from independent sources.

In Moscow, public buildings are being evacuated, including museums around the Kremlin and shopping centres, according to the Russian-language BBC.
