Special Operations Forces (SSO) commanded by Major General Valery Flustikov have taken over control of the Ministry of Defence headquarters on Frunzenskaya in Moscow. Right now, there's no way of knowing whose side he is really on: Shoigu or Prigozhin. Probably "wait & see

I’m confused - are we talking civil war, a coup, or what?

 

[HangletonGull]

Looking like start of a coup

 

[B-right-on]

Hopefully somebody shoots that psycho Putin.

jeez.

Paranoid Putin? Or Planned by Putin? It could all be stages. Everything and everyone linked to the country simply cannot be trusted.

looks like in early stage of some civil war. coup would assume some attempt to seize positions of power, with Prigozhin and his Wagner group hundreds of miles from Moscow, thats not happening right now. it may happen if some group reacts in Moscow.

 

[Weststander]

The Wagner Group leaders will have a series of life ending accidents. Putin will maintain total power, the genocide and rape in occupied Ukraine will continue.

But at least this will screw Russia a little.

A bungled coup worked wonders for Erdogan in Turkey.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Sounds like the sort of evil deeds that SPECTRE might be involved in

 

[HeaviestTed]

I hope it helps end the war in Ukraine but it could all be made up to confuse the Ukrainians (I genuinely hope I’m wrong and it does help).

 

[DFL JCL]

Let's see what the Russian national guard do

 

[Blue3]

Wagner apparently has a force of 50,000 with 40,000 of that number made up of early released convicted prisoners it appears the Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin is claiming that Russian forces have attacked a Wagner base with rockets this is after he has been consistently accusing Russian regular forces of not supplying ammunition and general supplies for Wargner.
we will need to see how this plays out but it has all the makings of the beginning of a coup

 

[Algernon]

Yevgeny Prigozhin.
What a sausage.
This will not end well for him.

 

[Van Cleef]

If I were them I'd keep well away from any second floor windows.

Lukashenko has apparently legged it on his private plane to Turkey and I'll expect Pootin is now locked up in his bunker rocking from side to side

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I seem to recall two other blokes who tried to march their troops on Moscow. I wonder if the chef will trump Napoleon and Hitler? My money is on no.

Sounds like Wagner are lying, as you clearly state the weapons were delivered in the quickest possible way.

Trouble is that there’s plenty more where he came from.
