Yevgeny Prigozhin vowed ‘revenge’ after accusing Russian military of its forces in rocket attack
A lot of territory is lost. The soldiers were killed, three, 4 times more than what is stated in the documents shown at the [leadership] summit.
Military sites in Rostov, adding an airfield, are control.
This is a very significant moment. It represents a great opportunity for Ukraine. I expect Kiev to intensify its counteroffensive. It is difficult to know how Russia will react, but there will be disturbances in the structures of the Russian army, from the lowest positions to the top.
It’s a day for Putin.
Commuter shipping from Azov, Bataysk and Aksai operates regularly. There are transient restrictions in Taganrog [port city], as well as in the direction north from Rostov.
I stay in control of the challenge and listen to reports regularly.
There is a lot of uncertainty at the moment because the scenario continues to evolve, but in any case, it is transparent that this is good news for Putin and it is good news for Russia.
Even if this creates widespread instability, I would consider it part of a much larger picture, namely that cracks are beginning to appear in the political realm in Russia due to the fact that the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has not been as successful as Putin had hoped. .
Rostov-on-Don is therefore an indispensable command and membrane for the Russian military, and any risk to the presence of the Ministry of Defense is likely to have ramifications in some critical facets of the war effort.
