Wagner Have Had Enough

[Khandro]

Perhaps the beginning of the end?

Lack of ammunition ? Possibly a factor, but it seems odd. Surely they knew how much they need for such operations before deploying. Maybe a lack of militia left with a death wish, and recruiting more has become difficult.

'In February, Kyiv Post correspondent Jason Jay Smart told Newsweek that Yevgeny Prigozhin could challenge the dictator for the leadership position amid the dispute over weapons.

When asked if perhaps the military didn’t want to provide weapons to Wagner out of a fear that the mercenary group "might storm the Kremlin" and seize power, Prigozhin conceded that the idea was "interesting".'

Shot himself in the foot there then or would of if he had any ammo left.
I wonder how long it will be before he demonstrates the laws of gravity from a high balcony. Not a moment too soon I hope.

I will believe it when I see it.
The date is interesting: May 10, the day after the May 9 deadline by which Putin presumably wants Bakhmut finally taken.
He can declare victory anyway, but if Wanger withdrew then almost certainly the Russians would have to start retreating.
This foul-mouthed rant by one of the most evil men on earth either means he's flipped mentally or he's genuinely planning on fleeing the coop. This is the man whose men systematically slaughtered civilians in the ruins of Soledar and Bakhmut, including shooting a five year old girl in the face as she screamed.
One way or another, they will all be retreating soon.

I think Putin must be with Woody Allen on this...............

' Twenty minutes of Wagner, and I get the urge to invade Poland.'

Seriously though, folks............. all we can do is support and hope.

To a bigger Hell than they, themselves, created I hope.

Why didn't they listen to George (Patton) back in 1945. I am fed up with living under the Untermenschen's threat since I was born 73 years ago. Please God finish them off so my grand daughters don't experience it.

Yes. Too true

In fact Russians announced an evacuation of collaborationist civilians from various towns in Zaporizhzhya region to Berdyansk on the coast. Including from Tokmak, a strategic raillink in the middle of the land bridge to Crimea.

And Enerhodar, where the nuclear power complex is

This is interesting. I wonder if Ukraine have thought about asking Wagner to change sides to them?.

[ichkeria]

Lol
They don’t need those criminals.
An army of 120,000 -160,000 waiting to go

[ichkeria]

They have an “I want to live” scheme whereby Russian troops can offer to surrender to avoid death if they advance and execution if they retreat

"Take Volodymyr Yatsenko, a Ukrainian businessman who founded Monobank and makes ‘Dovbush T10’ drones. Last month, he announced a 20 million hryvnias (£433,000) reward for any Ukrainian who could land a drone on Red Square on 9 May. The prize will be split between the winning drone’s manufacturer and operator.

The date is important: Moscow’s Victory Parade is ideologically the country’s most important event. Tanks, which will move across Red Square bearing slogans such as ‘We can do it again’, are designed to show the greatness and invincibility of Putin’s empire to the electorate – and the West. As a counter to this, Yatsenko’s competition had one requirement: the drone must carry a Ukrainian slogan on its wings like ‘Slava Ukraini’, ‘Glory to Heroes’, etc. So it’s about military trolling. What would be more humiliating for Putin than a Ukrainian drone landing right in front of his nose on Victory Day?"

Now wouldn't that be a wheeze?
