News from Russia and Donbass by German journalist Alina Lipp: “The Wagner fighters stressed that they are Russian patriots and support Putin, but they are more than critical of Shoigu and the Defense Ministry. In their opinion, Shoigu is to blame for many mistakes that were and are being made at the front” – Alina Lipp https://t.me/neuesausrussland

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of Russian mercenary group Wagner, said he told his forces to immediately halt their advance on Moscow and return to their bases in Ukraine as fear gripped the country about a potential deadly power struggle.
"We are turning our columns around and going back to field camps," Prigozhin said in an audio post on Telegram on June 24, adding that he did not want to "spill Russian blood."
Prigozhin said his troops, which he claimed numbered 25,000, were just 200 kilometers (120 miles) from the Russian capital when he made the decision. He did not say whether he had spoken with the Kremlin or the Russian military before announcing the move.
