Of course, as soon as I write up a summary saying “here’s all the major events”, Wagner Group goes and launches a freakin’ coup against Moscow. :)
In case you haven’t seen that news, last night Prigozhin (leader of the Wagner Group mercenary company) seized the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, which is where the headquarters and main logistical hub for the war on Ukraine is based. His forces are currently driving hard up the road toward Moscow. Putin has apparently fled the city and national guard units are digging in to defend it. The Russian military seems to be either refusing to engage with the Wagner Group or are actively supporting them, it’s hard to say what’s going on. Breaking news and all that.
This is probably the biggest single development since the previous Ukrainian counteroffensive. Possibly of the whole war.
