Russia investigates ‘mutiny' as Wagner chief says ‘evil' military leaders must be stopped

State-run Channel 1 has broken into regular programming for a special news bulletin. In a short message, the country’s best-known news anchor, Yekaterina Andreyeva, called Prigozhin’s claims of a Russian military attack against his Wagner fighters fake and added that a criminal case has been started against the mercenary head.

Andreyeva also repeated FSB’s statement, urging Wagner fighters to detain Prigozhin.

At the end of the news bulletin, the anchor says: "Vladimir Putin has been informed about all events."
This and much more are all over Twitter. It's probably nothing.

#2 No visual evidence on Twitter that Wagner troops actually are on the move. But as Darth Putin says, "I’m beginning to think that giving a psychopath his own private army of criminals was not a good idea."

#3 It is worth noting that none of the Wagner, Wagner fan, and other mercenary pages on V Kontakte have been taken down.

You'd think that is the first place the Russian government would start.

#5 Russian internet is restricted. Ex. 75% lost access to Google news. Yandex search is restricted. Street cams in Krasnodar blocked.

Some video is leaking out. Mostly RosGuardia and army trucks and roadblocks. Prigozhin say 2 aircraft are ovehead and been ordered to attack but pilots refused, FWIW.
