    There are reports of a possible (attempted?) military coup of Wagner chief.

      There is no “our guys” in current Russia. Russia is a hierarchy of dictators. In these settings, everyone is your friend and enemy at the same time.

      Russia is a wild place. Its obviously huge and filled with many different ethic groups in isolated regions. There are 80+ “states”/ territories and they vary greatly in their association with the Federation. A soldier conscripted from Dagestan or Chechnya probably doesn’t identify as a Russian first.

        Ukraine’s goal is to liberate Ukraine, what the Russians choose to do to each other within Russia is of understandably lesser concern right now.

            Maybe we could offer Russia a treaty, perhaps a memorandum of some sort, wherein we promise to respect their territorial integrity if they’ll hand their nuclear arsenal over to Ukraine for safekeeping.

    Crazy stuff. They do say that these regimes tend to seem rock solid until they don’t.

    Unless this is some massive false flag at the very least this should result in some disarray for Russia and that is helpful for Ukraine…

    Huge development, hopefully Ukraine can use this as momentum to drive out the invaders.
