"The leader of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, moved his military forces towards Russia. His goal is to capture the general staff in Moscow. Eliminate the leaders of the Russian General Staff and seize power. At the moment, 2 large cities of Rostov and Voronezh, an airport and military bases have been captured. Fighting began. It is known about the destruction of 3 Russian helicopters and 1 transport aircraft. Strikes are being carried out on oil depots and the concentration of troops. Putin has introduced a counter-terrorism operation. The bridges leading to Moscow and the main highways are mined. It is known that Prigozhin has about 50,000 soldiers, armored vehicles and aircraft."..
"The boss of Russia's Wagner group has said on his Telegram channel that he has agreed to "stop" the advancement of his troops towards Moscow.
In a surprise move, Yevgeny Prigozhin said his fighters were returning to field camps in Ukraine and did not want to "spill Russian blood".
Hours earlier, he had called for a rebellion against the Russian army.
In response, President Vladimir Putin had pledged to punish those who had "betrayed" Russia.
The Wagner Group is a private army of mercenaries that has been fighting alongside the regular Russian army in Ukraine.
Tension had been growing between them over how the war has been fought, with Prigozhin launching vocal criticisms of Russia's military leadership in recent months.
The agreement to dramatically de-escalate the situation came after Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko held talks with Prigozhin, according to Russian TV channel Rossiya 24.
Earlier, the Wagner group said it had taken the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and seized military facilities in Voronezh. The troops had started to march toward Moscow after crossing the border from Ukraine.
Russian authorities had introduced tighter security in many regions, including Moscow, where the mayor of the capital city had told residents to avoid travelling."
Quite bizarre to put something like this in motion.. before quickly backtracking

Just goes to show what a giant house of cards it all is.
Media have been explaining that this guy Prizohgin rose to power as Vlad P chef. Seems he was given a commission to run some sort of giant-sized Dirty Dozen mission a bit like Lee Marvin. Then when he saw all the slaughter going on, he turned turtle. If he got hold of a city and got half way to Moscow, you imagine this thing has been brewing for the best part of a week. And Vlad knew sweet f a about it.. The hold over their country that these people have is pretty tenuous. One person rebels and its surprisingly easy how things can fall apart. Even Hitler, he could so easily have lost the Third Reich over the Stauffenberg plot. |

His name was on the list of those "declared as travelling on board" the plane, along with key Wagner commander Dmitry Utkin The Russian Emergencies Ministry has said that private aircraft "came down” near the village of Kuzhenkino The ministry says the jet was flying from Moscow to St Petersburg, and that 10 people, including three crew members, were on board Ten bodies have been found at the crash site, according to state media" Was there any other realistic ending? |

Vladimir Putin has warned that he can 'never forgive betrayal' in a new Russian documentary amid fears he will not back down over the spy poisoning row.
The Russian President, widely expected to be reelected on Sunday, once hinted at how his country deals with spies by insisting that 'traitors always end in a bad way'. And in a newly released Russian documentary about the Kremlin strongman, he once again outlines his disdain for treachery, insisting that 'not everything' can be forgiven - in particular 'betrayal'. 2018 |

Yes thanks jimnast.
Just enjoyed my first visit to Lords on Sunday to see Lancashire beat Middlesex in the 50 over cup. Great game, won in the last over. Qualified for the quarter final yesterday by beating Notts. London prices quite an eye opener. £8 for a pint of Pedigree Amber at the ground. |
