Russians are very fine chess masters and strategist.

Iny my humble opinion, this could be the finest maskirovka ever conceived.

I would not be surprised if an offensive (possibly on Kharkov) is started soon, within the next few days, if not even tonight! Time will tell.

Diversionary tactics? Let the Ukrainians be lulled into thinking the war is over and/or turning in their favor due to a Russian civil war whilst Russian troops move into position for attack?

I don't think any of this impacted the war in Ukraine, at least not yet.

There is a lot of air that still needs to clear.

Prigozhin is going into exile in Belarus.

His troops are "invited" to sign contracts with the Russian army, or they will probably be sent home.

Appreciate the worthwrile and up to date information,. Prigozhin may have complained vociferously to the point of treason and irrtitated the Russian government, but for him to be able to go beyond that and lead an army in a coup was ridiculous. Reports of him seizing HQ in Rostov and on the move to Moscow are obvious fantasies. In going into exile, he may become a chef in Belarus. Anyway, looks like the party is over.

News had an image of one tank and two soldiers on a road, suggesting this was the mercenary army on the way to conquer Moscow. Thought I saw Dorothy and the wicked witch in the background. Could this be Kansas? When in doubt, bring in Lukashenko. He loves publiicty.
