I am just reading about it now.

Armed rebels with the Wagner Group are moving north through Russian territory and appear to be heading for Moscow, according to multiple reports.



Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is leading what he calls a "march for justice" to oust Russia's military leadership. Overnight, the mercenary group's forces seized control of Russian military facilities in Rostov-on-Don, a city of more than a million people near the border with Ukraine. The seizure is significant — Rostov is home to the Russian military headquarters overseeing the military supply line fueling Putin's invasion of Ukraine.



Further Wagner troops are reported to be moving through Vorenezh Oblast, a city about 300 miles north of Rostov-on-Don. An intelligence update from the U.K. Ministry of Defense indicated Wagner units are "almost certainly aiming to get to Moscow."



"With very limited evidence of fighting between Wagner and Russian security forces, some have likely remained passive, acquiescing to Wagner," the Ministry of Defense said.



Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed to put down the rebellion. In a televised address Saturday morning, Putin said the mutiny amounted to "a deadly threat to our statehood," vowing there will be "tough actions" in response.



"It is a blow to Russia, to our people," Putin said. "And our actions to defend the Fatherland against such a threat will be harsh."



Prigozhin, a longtime Putin ally, rejected the Russian president's accusations of treason and claimed his forces were fighting "corruption, deceit and bureaucracy" in the Russian military.

It is looking like the the coup at the end of the Soviet Union that tempoararily removed Gorbachew. But, the leader of Wagner says, it's the defense ministry they have their sites on. Interesting times.

It seems most of the Russian elites are fleeing Moscow.  Putin and his PM reportedly left Moscow for St. Petersburg.  Russian air force is doing periodic air attacks on the Wagner convoy.

I am not going to watch a nearly two hour video. But, the headline says that the leader of Wagner now wants Putin. That is not good.

Putin issued an arrest warrant for piggy yesterday so now he is taking his private army of 25,000 and is going to Moscow to overthrow the government.

That is what is happening. The Wagner Group is to Russia what the Foreign Legion is to France. I woould not want the Wagner Group getting nuclear codes.

Russian forces are blowing up bridges inside Russia.  This is supposedly on the M4 freeway going from Rostov on Don to Moscow.

This started because the head of Wafner felt his troops were not getting the supplies and support they need.

The Kremlin is denying Putin has fled Moscow. But, there are reports his plane has been spotted leaving Moscow.

Supposedly it is over and Wagner ordered their troops to return to barracks.  WTF?

It is not confirmed yet, but that is likely where they are.
