Whoever wins, I predict one or both sides will forget they're not in Ukraine anymore and thus continue the indiscriminate attacks on civilians out of sheer force of habit.

There are unconfirmed reports that the Russian airforce already targets Wagner's columns together with civilian traffic.

Sounds like the next few days will be very interesting.

And it looks like not even Russian civilians are safe from Russia's gotta kill all the civilians initiative.

Who knew that having an ~20-30K sized army of mercenaries with their own armor and SAMs and a charismatic leader is not a very wise idea?

Kadyrov declared his support for Putin. Interesting. I expected him to stay silent and wait it out.

There's rumors that Russia may be planning to drop three bridges across the river Oka if Wagner gets that far. That would have some unfortunate consequences for the country even if it was enough to stop the coup.

I can't see a quick victory for Putin's loyalist forces. I think It will be either a quick Prigozhin's victory or at least a few weeks of fighting.

tbh Niccolo would not have considered Wagner to be mercenaries since they are Russian
Kadyrov declared his support for Putin. Interesting. I expected him to stay silent and wait it out.
I think he's still a bit salty of that confrontation and murder attempt of his BROTHER Adam by Utkin and pal.
Also expecting anything smart from Kadyrov is a receipe for disapointment
