Videos are emerging of what are said to be columns of rebellious troops, Wagner and others, on their way to Moscow. They have surface-to-air missiles and tanks on flatbeds.
Here's a report that Wagner forces on the way to Moscow are paying for food, not looting. Seems like a sign of a serious intention to take over Russia, not just make trouble.
Videos are being posted of Russian forces on a highway, said to be moving toward Rostov to attack Wagner.
Yesterday Ukrainians were wondering if Prigozhin would receive support from Russian prisons, and sure enough today there are reports of riots in prisons near Moscow.
Statement from Gubarev, Girkin's ally:
Putin's Russia will cease to exist in the coming days. We did not particularly love this state, it was always hostile to the Russians. Nobody will protect it. Those who are ready to defend it have neither weapons nor resources. We will act according to the circumstances, nothing unusual. National duty, military honor and a clear conscience will give us the right guide.
The Russian people are great, and Russia is eternal. God bless us!
And Girkin himself:
The rebels successfully bypassed Voronezh and are moving through the territory of the Lipetsk region. They boast that they shot down the forward outposts of the "Rosgvardia" and took trophies.
On the other hand, Chechen strongman Kadyrov has come out strongly for Putin, says his forces will fight Wagner on Putin's behalf.
More reports of regime-loyal troops moving to attack Wagner in Rostov.
Street fights in Rostov between supporters of the two sides.
