This thread is where all the takes from idiots (looking at you Armchair Warlord) and screenshots of twitter posts/youtube thumbnails go.

    UK defence sources say that Russia’s FSB domestic intelligence agency (the successors to the KGB) are those most likely to have targeted Yevgeny Prigozhin’s plane.

    They are totally loyal to Vladimir Putin and also run the border force.

    The view is that this now probably strengthens the position of Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov, whom Prigozhin loathed and publicly criticised.

    This in turn is good for Ukraine as those two are considered incompetent.

    the sneer is palpable

    RDK/RVC is trying to get Wagner on Ukrainian side

    transcript

    We appeal to the fighters of Wagner PMC for whom the words loyalty and and honor still have meaning

    Apparently, your commanders and founding father were cynically executed yesterday

    The fact that they were killed by order of representatives of the highest echelon of power in the Russian Federation is obvious to everyone

    Therefore, you are facing a serious choice now: you can stand in a stall of Russia’s defense ministry and serve as watchdogs for executors of your commanders, or take revenge on their executioners by going over to Ukraine

    If you have not commited war crimes on the territory of Ukraine, then we invite you to join our ranks

    Let’s end the bloody meat grinder of the special military operation

    After that, we’ll march to Moscow and this time we will not stop 200 km before Moscow but go to the end

    In the event of your voluntary transfer to the side of Ukraine, Ukraine will guarantee you decent conditions and security
