If anybody knows about neo-nazis in Ukraine it is Dmitry Utkin, Wagner's primary field commander, a violent ultra-nationalist who has swastika and SS tattoos, and was born in Ukraine.

According to Russian reports those who did not take part yesterday will be offered contracts in the regular army. Priggy will go into a supposed exile in Belarus, but without any of his troops - but will almost certainly look to hire a tea taster to join him in his bungalow pdq. Probably most of those involved yesterday will be sent to Syria or Mali to continue their missionary work under Wagner's military leadership, ( of which Prigozhin was not a part ).

Rick Astley doing a cover of "Highway to Hell", on drums, in his own set, and an entire set of Smiths covers with Blossoms, Dave Grohl guesting with just about everybody, Manics were totally rank, GnR came acros as a couple of hours of white noise. Glasto is always a mix of highs, the unexpected, new discoveries, and disappointing anti-climax. Hopefully Elton John can draw the whole weekend to an appropriately over the top climax.

Not nit-picking over the typo, but an Australian IT support person told me how he knew the phonetic difference between "rowters" and "rooters"; you 'rowt' data and 'root' women.

That just shows what a good job he is doing.

A mod that lets you stay active.

And you are a specialist in nicking Internet memes.

Shoigu's resgination and Prigozhin to replace him ? Might not be good news for Ukraine.

I wouldn't trust Luka to tell me the sun was shining.

Reports that Wagner have backed off.

Yesterday they reported the liberation of some villages in Donetsk that had been held by the separatists since the internal conflict 'froze'.

Twitter rumours; Wagner moving most than of their heavy equipment out of Ukraine A Guards VDV ( parachute) regiment joins Wagner's march Wagner opening a prison in Rostov to recruit the inmates One thing is for sure, you don't take T-80s on transporters all the way to Moscow for tea and biscuits.

Mönchengladbach apparently disagree.

Hasn't been so far.

Ukrainian drone unit commander keeps up with the latest breaking news.....

Oryx starting a new list.....

But will they fight against Prighozin ? It will be far more difficult to hide the fighting from the civilian population than has been the case with the SMO, how will they react ? The state has control on the mass media, but rumour spread across SM gains traction very quickly.

How much of the 'regular Russian army' is present in Russia,specifically the Western Military District and Moscow ? Lots of state security Police and Rosgvardia, but even they seem to have so far been reluctant to oppose Wagner. The regular army strength is between 500k and 600k, contracted soldiers rather than reserves, and as well as deployments in Ukraine they are also stationed across the entire country.

No, but they are anti the Israeli Government and it's policies towards and actions against Palestinians.

I doubt even Prighozin knows for sure. The estimate in Ukraine was up to 25 thousand, but I wouldn't think there was an accurate count of the ex-cons, nor a proper tally of caxualties and new recruits as combat operations progressed.

Do casualties from the Wagner march get added to the daily updates on Russian losses ?

Latest claims; Russian ISPs blocking access to GOOGLE news, Russian state TV announces an imminent "Emergency news update".

Border crossings between Russia and the 2 'republics' have been closed, apparently.

Might be the 3rd if FoRL and their pals go back across the border. There is an awful lot of ( currently ) unsubstantiated rumour causing meltdown on various SM channels. Plenty of F5 keys will get worn out in the next few hours.

Reports that the "Citadel Protocol" has been implemented in Moscow, locking down the Kremlin and other major sites. Russian TV digging out their video of Swan Lake......... "In addition, in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, when 'Swan Lake' was broadcast on TV at an unscheduled time, it was said that 'someone who should be in mourning died'. For example, when big Soviet politicians such as Leonid Brezhnev in 1982, Yuri Andropov in 1984, and Konstantin Chernenko in 1985 died , 'Swan Lake' was broadcast on TV . Also, when a coup d'etat aimed at Mikhail Gorbachev occurred on August 19, 1991, 'Swan Lake' was broadcast on all TV channels. After all, the coup was attempted, but the Soviet Union's footsteps were disturbed and headed for collapse." https://gigazine.net/gsc_news/en/20220309-swan-lake-tv-broadcast-signals-turmoil/
