UPDATE 3: So maybe Shoigu and Gerasimov will be thrown under the bus by Putin to save his ass. Of course, a security guarantee from Russia is as worthless as a promise by Trump to pay his contractors. And what happens to those regular army units that joined Wagner or refused to try to stop him.
Wagner with nukes? What could possibly go wrong?
Atesh, a partisan movement of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars that claims to have ensnared many agents within the Russian Army into its ranks, claims that the PCM Wagner, engaged in an armed rebellion against the Russian authorities, is preparing to seize nuclear weapons depots in Voronezh Oblast.
Citing its agent from the Wagner PMC, Atesh writes that Wagner’s advance units have reached the outskirts of Borisoglebsk, Voronezh Oblast. The city hosts a warehouse with nuclear weapons, also known as “375 Object ‘C'” under the 12th Chief Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
“It is unlikely that the Russian Army will be able to defend the depot on their own. There are very few forces and means there. A significant number of tanks, artillery, and motorized professional infantry are required. At least a brigade is needed. And since no troops are available right now, the only way to get reinforcements is to remove operational reserves from the front. Fighting for the Voronezh nuclear depot will probably lead to increased escalation of hostilities between the PMC and the Russian Ministry of Defense,” Atesh writes.
This message corroborates reports from the Gulagu.net human rights project, which stated, citing its sources, that the Wagner mutiny was planned as an armed insurrection at least from the fall of 2022, and that Wagner plans to seize 12 objects of Russia’s nuclear arsenal. Gulagu.net claims that the enigmatic Wagner commander Dmitry Utkin is responsible for this part of the armed mutiny.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Will there be a huge battle when Wagner gets close to Moscow?
------------------------------------------------------------
The question is — are the Chechens there to oppose Prigozhin or join him.
----------------------------------------------------------
Preparing for a long siege perhaps.
----------------------------------------------------------
Putin: I don’t need ammunition. I need a ride.
Sandbags and trenches around Moscow. Who could have predicted any of this even a week ago?
-----------------------------------------------------------—
Good grief. Uganda coming to Russia’s rescue? You couldn’t write this as a novel because it would be too unbelievable.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Good for the people of Mali and the Central African Republic to be rid of Wagner.
----------------------------------------------------------
This can’t end well.
---------------------------------------------------------—
Putin asks for help. Kazakhstan says, “no thanks.”
---------------------------------------------------------—
The tanks already have a new twisted narrative. How long before this is all Hunter Biden’s fault?
---------------------------------------------------------—
This is some next-level trolling.
---------------------------------------------------------—
And finally, these seem fitting for today.
