Yevgeny Prigozhin was once so close to Russian President Vladimir Putin that he earned the nickname "Putin's chef". Now, Russia has opened a criminal case against the mercenary warlord, accusing him of attempting to mount a mutiny against his former friend. The founder of the Wagner mercenary group says his men have crossed the border from Ukraine into Russia and intend to "go all the way".

Hundreds of russian soldiers have surrendered. Apparently three helicopters have been destroyed. Rostov is under Wagner control. They’re now halfway to Moscow. Some of the photos are incredible. This is huge.

      “Wagner paramilitary group said his troops had taken control of military facilities in two Russian cities” It’s just saying they’re claiming it’s happening. It’s not a source for what the parent commenter is saying (helicopters destroyed and hundreds of soldiers surrendering).

        No, because it takes time for this news to filter through to mainstream media. The most up to date sources are social media; Telegram in particular. This war is broadcast live on Telegram. I know this information to be accurate. I left my home in Ukraine a few hours before the invasion started on the strength of the accuracy of these sources, none of which seem to be good enough for the armchair military analysts on this website. Here you go. https://twitter.com/JimmySecUK/status/1672490280077885441?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1672501365191368711%7Ctwgr%5Ea23f587fbc0c611f9265b71f2b1701c04ecdff14%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.swiftcentre.org%2Frussia-liveblog%2F https://twitter.com/JimmySecUK/status/1672490280077885441?re...
