It will be interesting to see how the Russian Air Force and Russian soldiers work with Wagner in the future. Wagner's pilots likely knew some of those killed today, and Wagner depends on the Russian Air Force in Ukraine and for operations elsewhere. This is just the beginning. https://t.co/xqKME6LBWb

Russian President, Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...'s FSB security service troops have found £38million in cash stuffed in a van and two buses when they raid Prigozhin's Wagner Headquarters in St Petersburg.
Yevgeny Prigozhin has confirmed that a large amount of money, which was stashed in a van and two buses on the property, was found during the raid by Putin’s FSB troops - and belongs to the mercenary group, Daily Mail reports.
He provided no detail of how much the stash was worth, but earlier Russian media outlets reported it was around £4billion rubles, or £38million.
In an audio message on Telegram he explained that the funds are dedicated to covering compensation payments of killed Wagner soldiers.
"Wagner has been operating for the past 10 years using only cash - as agreed in our contract. I fully adhere to it," he said.

A number of restrictions have now been introduced around the Russian capital following a decree from the governor as the Wagner group advances north towards Moscow after seizing a key military base earlier today.
Wagner chief Yevgney Prigozhin later announced a ceasefire, saying their march into Moscow had been halted.
