COUP UPDATES: Putin Reportedly Leaves Moscow | Machine Gun Positions Around Moscow | Wagner Convoy Heads to Moscow

Tensions rise in Russia as the Southern Russian Military District Headquarters in Rostov is surrounded by armed military personnel.

The surrounding military personnel, which includes tanks pointing towards the headquarters, are elements of Wagner group but also some of the soldiers are wearing Russian National Guard patches accompanied by National Guard/Military trucks.

Many soldiers have confirmed to be a part of Wagner group.

This most likely indicates that factions of the Russian military as well as the National Guard, which is the MOST LOYAL to Putin, have DEFECTED to Wagner as part of the ongoing coup.

Furthermore, the Southern Russian Military District has NUCLEAR WEAPONS within it’s realm of responsibility. Now this does not mean that they’re easily accessible, however it does mean that too much chaos in the chain of command could POTENTIALLY have a very sinister outcome.

We’ve also received UNCONFIRMED reports of multiple Defense Ministry units involved in the Ukraine war are moving under Prigozhin's command, with commanders Shoigu and Gerasimov (both loyal to Putin and report directly to the President) reportedly being removed from power.

What is also rather concerning is that we’ve heard nothing NOTHING from Putin.




As the coup continues, here's the latest updates from our various sources live on the ongoing Twitter Space:

- Worries of the Russian Nuclear Warheads moved to Belarus weeks ago

- Wagner forces continue their advance to Moscow with limited strikes by the Russian Air Force

- Reports of Putin and other officials leaving Moscow and heading to Saint Petersburg based on the movement of Military VIP aircrafts. TASS, which is Gov controlled media outlet, reported that Putin is heading to Saint Petersburg, but Putin's Press Secretary refuted those reports. It is very unusual and rare to see such a disconnect between TASS and the Kremlin.

MY THOUGHTS:

- This is a military coup, we can no longer dispute this, and things are moving VERY rapidly and are not looking good for Putin.

- We are seeing limited military clashes, showing likely defections among Russian forces

- Almost EVERYTHING right now can't be verified and should be taken with a grain of salt

Could this mean that both Wagner and factions of the Russian military and National Guard have colluded in order to pull of this ongoing and rapidly evolving coup?


Na here the matter tough

it could be that Putin doesn't want to take responsibility for using nuclear weapons. Wagner will now stylishly take control and unleash nuclear weapons. and Putin cannot be held responsible.
it may be planned work

Don’t be so fast…

Wagner can never win a war inside of Russian territory.

I wonder what their motivation is.

They will be crushed in a matter of days with air strikes.

Suicide mission!

I have always maintained that Putin won't be defeated by the West but by his fellow Russians.

Putin is a stupid coward. Zelensky didn't run from his enemies but he is running away from his own men.

Where are all those Putin's praise singers? If he was so powerful as you portrayed him to be this will not be happening at his backyard. Many of his commanders in the military are not pleased with the way he has been going about the war, especially the thousands of Russians that have died in this war.

The problem is that Putin's people are ing Wagner underground.

Try to read up on the Wagner Company to understand the dilemma Putin finds himself.

It's retired military elite fighters and top of the Russian military that full Wagner.

Let's tell ourselves the truth.The invasion of Ukraine by Russia was an unmitigated disaster, Russians don't follow weak or leaders on the losing side. Wagner has smelt blood and like a shark, it will bleed the Kremlin and Putin white before it let's go of their corpse..

Putin please wait and be killed like Gaddafi. Your days of senseless impunity is over. This is how arrogant and defiant leaders always end up. Imagine just waking one day to invade Ukraine. Seems the world is tired of his bullying.
