Prigozhin says Wagner Group is turning its convoys around.

They wanted to dissolve Wagner Group. On June 23, we set off on our “march of justice.” In the span of 24 hours, we got within 200 kilometers of Moscow. During the time, not a single drop of our fighters’ blood was shed. Now we’ve reached a point where bloodshed is possible. So, understanding the full responsibility for the potential shedding of Russian blood from either side, we’re turning our columns around and heading back in the opposite direction towards our field camps, according to plan.

    I don’t think this is a stunt. I think Wagner got a head too large and something put them in place. Atleast for now.

      Wagner doesn’t have air power and not much for air defenses.

      FIRMS is showing a lot of fires in Lipetsk right now.

      Could be coincidence, but it’s possible Wagner got bombed to shit.

      What? Nothing was stopping them. They steam rolled.right into Moscow region and onto the doorstep of the city proper. As it is,bits unclear how much resistance they would have faced.
