Rostov has been fully blockaded, reports @DontStopWar.

GB: I assume by the Russian forces, but that's my interpretation.

There are no "Wagner PMC" forces in Voronezh, and the Governor of the Oblast has denied reports of "convoys of military equipment" moving through the region.

With all the public appeals going out from various sources (even Zakharova!) to Wagner units to stand down and/or disobey Prigozhin's orders, it seems that the authorities are doing all they can to avoid a bloody resolution.

Voronezh Governor reports that the Russian Armed Forces have begun the necessary military operations in the Oblast.

This, unfortunately, confirms that the videos of Wagner PMC troops moving through the region, toward Buturlinovka, are likely real.

The circulating video of the An-26 plane having been shot down is old, dating to last year.

I am not particularly interested in posting the various statements from different governors and key figures in the Russian political apparatus—suffice it to say, they all wholeheartedly support Putin and his course, etc. This is as expected. Far more interesting and important is that Prigozhin has yet to say anything.

By popular request of Kadyrov's personal fans, I will post his statement. Here it is:

Friends, it's been a busy night and the flights [I've been on] have not given me time to voice my position on this vile BETRAYAL!

Everything that is happening is a KNIFE IN THE BACK and a real military rebellion!

I have repeatedly warned that war is not the time to voice personal grievances and resolve disputes in our rear. The home front must always be calm and secure. Imagine how the guys in the trenches feel now, with the enemy in their face, while behind them a traitorous enterprise [is playing out]. [We must think] about stability, about state cohesion, about the security of citizens.

History shows that such actions can lead to bloody consequences. Have we not enough losses in the SMO? Do we still have to create problems within the country?

We have a Supreme Commander-in-Chief, elected by the people, who knows the whole situation in minute detail better than any strategist, much less a businessman, calls up the commanders on the ground himself and has full control over the course of SMO. And the Commander-in-Chief's decisions are taken in a measured, meticulous manner. Each of us sees only one part of the map, but he sees it all as a whole! And it is absolutely right that Vladimir Vladimirovich noted in his address to the nation—this is a military mutiny! There is no justification for such actions!
I fully support every word of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin!

I appeal to our fighters—patriots of our Motherland. Do not fall for provocations. Whatever goals they may be trying to achieve, whatever promises they may be making to you—state security and the cohesion of the Russian society at a time like this are above all! Look at how our enemies in the West are taking advantage of this situation. Look at how many innuendos, how many lies, how many false appeals that frighten our citizens and create the danger of a destabilizing situation there are. And these are the expected consequences of Prigozhin's treasonous march.

What is happening is not an ultimatum to the Ministry of Defence. It is a challenge to the state, and against this challenge it is necessary [that all of us] rally around our national leader: The military, the security forces, the governors, the civilian population.

Soldiers of the Ministry of Defence and the Rosgvardia of the Chechen Republic are already on their way to the zones of tension. We will do everything in our power to preserve the unity of Russia and to protect her statehood!

The insurgency must be put down, and if tough measures have to be taken to do so, we are ready!

An interesting question (for me): who operates the AP Wagner TG channel?

No I am not going to link to it

Prigozhin has said his piece.

This is it. It is a mutiny, clear as day.

No, I am not giving the scumbag Prigozhin a forum here. Here are the key parts of what he said:

With respect to the betrayal of the Motherland, the President is deeply mistaken.

We are patriots of our Motherland, we fought and we continue to fight—all the fighters of Wagner PMC.

And none of us is going to, on the orders of the President, the FSB, or whoever, show up and surrender.

We are the patriots and those who oppose us today are those who've gathered around scumbags.

Any further mention of this traitorous lowlife in a positive light will result in an immediate ban.

"Friends, a huge request not to repost scandalous unverified news. This is how civil wars are unleashed. To fellow journalists, please forget about any hype for a while and show human responsibility. Initially, long before 2022 and before 2014, the enemy was betting on a split in post-Soviet society and an internal war in Russia; this is exactly what happened on the Maidan under the beautiful slogans of the struggle for democracy and against the oligarchy with corruption.

I am sure that the coup attempt will be thwarted with the support of the majority of Russian society. I don't think now is the best time to discuss Putin's well-known controversial opinions about 1917 or the role of private armies in modern warfare. All this is important, but it is not the main thing today. The main thing is to not forget that the West, with its huge resources, is waging war against Russia and has just acquired a dangerous internal ally.

Prevent bloodshed. Avoid civil war. Despite all our fair emotions, show maturity, restraint and responsibility."

Archangel of Spetsnaz reports from the front:

The enemy is preparing for an offensive in the Orekhov-Rabotino direction: The hottest part of the 291st Regiment's defence zone; artillery is working on the first echelon positions.

Enemy air defence forces do not have the advantage, our aviation is working. They respond with by short- and medium-range Tor-M1, Buk-M1.

Stepnogorsk: Reconnaissance forces uncovered an electronic warfare complex used to detect UAVs and completely block transmission of data, control and navigation signals. It caught a warm welcome from our artillery, eliminated.

Stepovoye: Aerial reconnaissance uncovered two artillery crews. To the west, a light transport was detected on which the enemy had transported personnel to the positions. The uncovered objects were hit by artillery.

VDV unit on the bridge across the Oka near Serpukhov in the Moscow region.

Glazyev writes:

When the NATO jackals' offensive in Zaporozhye and Donbass crashed into a wall, a domestic rebellion reared its head.

Such coincidences do not happen by chance. The uprising is taking place at a time when the enemy is defeated and its masters are preparing to negotiate peace.

It is already clear to everyone that the AFU is doomed to defeat. On the battlefield there has been a turning point in our favour. Our support for and condemnation of US and NATO aggression is growing worldwide.

In the USA and the EU, the popularity of the politicians who waged war against us is falling. The enemy has no other chance to retain power except the organisation of a coup d'état in our country.

The action of the insurgents is really a stab in the back, as our President has rightly said. There is no doubt that the insurgency is coordinated and directed by the intelligence services of the USA, Britain and, possibly, one of the Middle Eastern countries.

It is likely that the rebellion was provoked by their agents of influence, who are preparing to take advantage of the situation to organise sedition and the subsequent destruction of Russia, as they did during the Great Troubles.

We are obliged to unite around the President of Russia V.V. Putin and to give a resolute counterattack to the enemy, external and internal.
