It looks like Putin and Shoigu want to centralize the PMC's under their command. All voluntary fighters who are fighting for Russia have to sign a contract with the Russian Federation as of 1 July 2023. This also applies to Wagner, led by Prigozhin.

Or else?

Shoigu didn't even do anything when Wagner kidnapped a Russian commander, Lol.

I'm sure Prigozhin will get right on that, looks like we're in for more Shoigu vs Prigozhin.

Also, a desperate move. Russia uses Wagner because it gives them deniability to the horrific shit that Wagner does across the world, Russia can say it wasn't them officially but they wouldn't be able to anymore if they're officially under their command.

Masks off now I guess though, Russia doesn't have to hide how disgusting it is.

As Ukrainian troops assault, Russian forces move reinforcements and fire artillery in response, exposing their positions and defensive strategies. They switch on electronic jamming systems, revealing how this equipment will be used in the fighting.

The Ukrainian military is using what it learns in these assaults to strike Russian artillery positions, said Mr. Samus, softening up defenses for an actual breakthrough battle that will come later. The larger fight "is still ahead of us and where exactly it will be we still don't know."

The main Russian defensive tactic, military analysts have said, is to deploy a thinly manned first line to detect an assault as it is overrun. Behind this line are minefields and then more trenches. Even farther back are reinforcements, which rush forward to counterattack the assaulting troops as they try to cross the minefields.

Russian 'Tactical Retreat' From Neskuchne.

Russian Forces have Withdrawn to the Settlements of Storozheve and Makarivka which are below the Town that Ukrainian Forces have now Captured meaning they will more easily be able to Strike the Russian Defensive Positions in these Settlements. pic.twitter.com/LlQPQap3dt

"Shoigu cannot properly manage military formations," Prigozhin said, adding that Wagner coordinated its actions in Ukraine with General Sergei Surovikin, nicknamed "General Armageddon" by the Russian media.

Kyiv in 3 days keeps upgrading, it's now "lets invite 3 million Chinese soldiers into our country to save our asses"

Yeah, I'm sure China will get right to that, I'm sure saving Russia is high on their list of priorities.

Nice to see Russians practically begging Russia to become a vassal state of China now.

Romanov claims that Storozheve, next to recently liberated Blahodatne is also under Ukrainian control. Furthermore there are strong signals of Levadne and Novodarivka (a bit more to the west) being under Ukrainian control, yet to be confirmed. pic.twitter.com/Rji50My54D

Ukrainian forces with the help of drones destroyed a Russian logistics base, in other words a high value target. You can clearly see at least 3 military trucks of which one even receives a direct hit.

Send the Apache copters to Ukraine. They may not be as fast as F-16s, but they'll be a nightmare for Russian ground forces.
