I got notified from a text via a friend who closely follows the Ukraine/Russia war. Several news outlets are providing live updates. If Prigozhin takes this to the extremes (a full militarized coup attempt in Moscow) and the senior leadership fails to contain it, then it is very bad for Russia. On the other hand, if they contain it quickly things could be back to normal on Sunday.
Who knows, I'll wait and see. Since this is the first post about it on HN I figured I'd put my comment here.

- parsimo2010 3y agoOkay, so first post that I saw when I got on HN. But thanks for the link.
- guraf 3y agoIt's been posted a dozen times already today https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=last24h&page=0&prefix=false&query=russia&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=last24h&page=0&prefix=fals... So much for being "hacker" news.
- enkid 3y agoThere are reports Wagner is driving into Rostov unopposed. Seems unlikely this is going to be quickly contained.
- halJordan 3y agoPrigohzin is the one reporting his own success. Hardly informative.
