Today is gonna be lit

Since everyone is speculating, ill do the same.

I dont think putin (and kremlin) is in any danger by the way. SMO will continue similarly unless this continues for a longer period of time --> in which case anything can happen (unlikely)

Prigozhin public statements seem to only target Shoigu and Gerasimov. He is not calling to march on Moscow yet or mentioning other generals (eh Surovikin, Alekseev, Evkurov) or calling for regime change.

Popcorn time.

The head of the Russian mercenary group Wagner has vowed to take all necessary steps to topple the country's military leadership in Moscow, saying his forces would "destroy everything" in their way. In a new audio message, mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin said they will "go to the end", after vowing to sideline Russia's military leadership. The White House has been following the situation in Russia since the call for an armed mutiny was made.

Russia accused Mr Prigozhin of calling for an armed mutiny after he alleged, without providing evidence, that the military leadership had killed 2,000 of his fighters and vowed to stop what he called its "evil". As a long-running standoff between him and the Defence Ministry appeared to come to a head, the ministry issued a statement, saying Mr Prigozhin's accusations were "not true and are an informational provocation." Mr Prigozhin said his actions did not amount to a military coup.

However, Russia's Federal Security service (FSB) opened a criminal case against him for calling for an armed mutiny, the TASS news agency said, citing the National Anti-terrorism Committee. The Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin had been informed and that "necessary measures are being taken". The standoff, many of the details of which remained unclear, looked like the biggest domestic crisis Mr Putin has faced since he sent thousands of troops into Ukraine in February last year in what he called "a special military operation."

25 000 well trained mercenaries who know they have to fight for their lives and who are holding a town point on supply line to Ukraine.

What could go wrong

ISW wrote yesterday it is unlikely that a coup will happen

The "anti -terrorist special operation" established in Moscow

This measure in particular strengthens the powers of the security services and allows them to restrict the movements. It also provides for the implementation of controls of identity documents and vehicles in the streets and authorizes a temporary suspension of communication services, if necessary. Without going so far, security forces can also monitor all telephone conversations and other messages, including on the Internet, carry out searches, recalls the Telegram New Channel from Moscow to its million and a half subscribers.
