The leader of Wagner mercenaries spoke with Lukashenko and reportedly agreed to stop the advance of all Wagner units in Russia and to make further steps to de-escalate the situation, as long as the group receives safety guarantees.

Oh... Damn... I thought Prigozhin is smarter.  Safety guarantees...

Oh boy, someone's about to get a taste of that "shelling the evac corridor" experience aren't they.

That is the single stupidest thing he could possibly do in this situation. He's going to die. Unless he's lying about backing down which is possibly the second stupidest thing he could in this situation.

I mean, one could argue that at least he's consistent with the rest of Russian war effort so far in that...

Unless his plan is to nope out of Russia and go hide in Belarus, I don't see any way he's making it out in one piece without pulling off a coup. And that hinges on Belarus doubling down on making their contributor to Putin's Small Penis Misadventure as awkward as possible.

If something sounds like it is too good to be true, it probably is...

Still a sign of things to come but damn, it was so close.

[brewer bob]

Well, that's a bummer.

Russian Convoys continue to be unable to actually reach their destination.

Wonder who'll replace Prigozhin after he has an unfortunate date with a window.

More convicts from what I've heard, evidently Putin is stepping up laws that provide more incentives for prisoners to sign up.

Still have given the two Russians caught up in this over in the BN dev team their daily reminder to be ready to nope out of there, preferably before Putler gives them a reason to need to.

Looks like there will not be night party in Moscow. Lame af. Words are running that Wagner will btfo from Ukraine and get back to Africa, Venezuella and Syria, and in exchange, MoD will have a turnover.
Well, that's already something. Losing Wagner is already good for Ukraine, and that little demonstration costed Russia three to five aircrafts, a couple bridge and roads in the Moscow Rostov highway.
That story was fun to follow.

Headlines in 2024:

• Russia now second strongest army in Venezuella.
• Syria takes Crimea.
• Putin's execution to be officially held in South Sudan

EDIT: The joke of course being, sending their merc group who (by virtue of having made it almost to Moscow with basically no effort) have clearly proven themselves to be more effective than the actual Russian army to go play in other countries not currently kicking their ass can totally only ever end well and won't possibly backfire by drawing them into a second quagmire while they're already busy losing to Ukraine.

What the hell was that

What the hell was that

Contract renegotiations.

[Great Order]

Makes me wonder if he was just seeking concessions, or realised something that made doing so at gunpoint a Bad Idea.

I expect him to perform a self-defenestration some point in the future.

Russian State media (so take that with a gallon of salt) says:
* They do not know where Prigozhin is.
* Avoiding bloodshed is more important than punishing them, so charges are going to be dropped.
* Wagner Troops will not be punished, and will be allowed to sign contracts with the MoD.
* Prigozhin will be moving to Belarus.

So guess Russia media's stance official line is that when two strong men go to conflict they both bend over?
