PFYT2To avoid the dismantling of Wagner- A clear reference to the contracts that were required to be signed. Covered in this previous report from June 24/23 Putin thanks the nation for it’s unity Prigozhin’s statement appeared to confirm analysts’ view that the revolt was a desperate move to save Wagner from being dismantled after an […]
SkyNews Russian fighter jets were scrambled after at least two UK warplanes were detected near the country’s border, Moscow has claimed. In a statement, the country’s ministry of defence claimed that the RAF fighter jets made a U-turn as its aircraft approached – and Russia’s state border was not violated. It said the two Typhoon […]
I’m still not sure if this was a coup attempt? Perhaps it would be better likened to a very public temper tantrum? Ayden wrote it out, so I don’t have to- thanks! An aside, I’ve found Ayden, thus far, to be a very credible source on twitter- He speculates that perhaps Moscow allowed for the […]

Curiosity has got this cat a-hunting! Russian Ministry of Defence had given Prigozhin’s fighter until the end of the month, June/23, to sign contracts with them. […]
Interesting oped-Is it correct? Incorrect? Somewhere in between? Or totally off the wall? I do find some parts to be non credible, but, still the timing is curious. Using Khodorkovsky as an authoritative voice on Russia is rather pathetic. Link Throughout Yevgeny Prigozhin’s escalating hostilities with Russia’s defence ministry chiefs, as he branded them traitors […]
Admittedly, I don’t know what to make of this ? Some type of dramatic distraction? Or an actual disagreement of some sort? Some are disputing the hit/strike on Wagner’s camp. Wagner is claiming Russian military hit the camp, others are suggesting this is not accurate- The Kremlin is relatively quiet. The statement from Peskov doesn’t […]
