Wagner group 60 miles outside Moscow according to reports and 25,000 strong. They’ve already taken Rostov-on-Don (Russian military HQ) and military supplies. Putin’s reported to have fled Moscow.
Not sure how this all ends but Wagner group taking control of nuclear weapons probably isn’t a good outcome for the rest of the world.

It's terrifying, but I do wonder if someone else is financing him now. |  | | |

Maybe the oligarchs have had enough of the ‘special operation’ that was only meant to last a few days. Have to wonder what Putin’s capable of with his back against the wall like this. | | | |

They've turned back now, not going to proceed to Moscow. |  |

Deescalation probably not a bad thing given the potential outcomes. But Putin’s looking very weak right now. | | | |

Apparently the Wagner bloke has said he's come to an agreement with Putin. Given they've been taking down helicopters etc, hard to see how it will hold. | | | |

Its all a bit wild but its a bit odd now if the Wagner bloke is turning back. He must have an enormous target on his back now. Not sure where this ends... |  | | |

Theoretically with Prigozhin having safe harbour in Belarus, but we've all seen this film before, haven't we?
You imagine he will meet with an "unfortunate accident" whilst being on vacation in a remote part of his new adopted homeland. | | | |

What’s more powerful is that the guy who has been doing Putin’s bidding in first Syria and now Ukraine has admitted that the reasons for the war were all b.ollocks. Hopefully this is beginning of end of the dictator and Russia can move on. | | | |

I wish that was true but I thought this guy was marching because he did agree with the war but thought putin was being "too soft" ( i.e thinks he should be using nuclear). In which case talk of an agreement or compromise which means he turned back is very worrying |  | | |

Yes I thought this may play out in favour of Ukraine but it seems to be getting very sinister now. Why we can't give the Ukraine military planes when we are giving them everything else is beyond me. If they had more airpower this offensive would be a lot more effective, but it feels like there is some weird thing where we actually don't want to make it any easier for them. I just don't get it and the fact that Wagner is going back to the war is hugely worrying. |  |

Not looking good for Wagner’s Ring.
Could you imagine how the people who thought 12 hours ago, “You know what, he seems a bit of a loose cannon, but we should support him” are feeling now? [Post edited 25 Jun 2023 0:30]

The worrying thing is he's heading to Belarus where Putin has stashed a few nukes - he presses the button - Putin say's it wasn't us - what happens then! | |

Or the Wagner group go to Belarus, stage a coup there and suddenly Belarus is part of Russia. |  |

I suspect a fear is that in the event that modern NATO planes get shot down, that the wreckage may be captured by the Russians and the technology analysed. It may lead to them catching up with NATO in terms of designing future fighter planes. |  | | |
