Meanwhile, everybody has a story:

Wow. Now Prigozhin says that the council of Wagner commanders have decided to deal with the military leadership of Russia adding that he will destroy everyone who appears n his way. "I ask everyone to stay calm at home, do not go outside." https://t.co/sX8O7OhSkE

1/ Wagner Group fighters have been saying goodbye to their relatives over the past 24 hours and telling them to watch the TV news, which suggests that they may have had advance notice of today's dramatic events with Yevgeny Prigozhin. pic.twitter.com/BpwKTCfQPJ

As FSB announces they are opening a criminal case into calls for armed insurrection, a time to reflect on the possible reasons for Prigozhin’s roulette today. The one that makes most sense to me? He’s properly messed up in the head.

Russian sources report that 2 Wagner military convoys that are each dozens of kilometers long are heading into Rostov from Russian-occupied Ukraine (Donetsk). Russian border guards are letting them through even though the border was ordered closed.
