[MAIL] Putin's body language betrays his 'high levels of anger' and shows he is in 'action mode', an expert has claimed.
The Russian president today branded Prigozhin's Wagner group as 'traitors' as he addressed his people on TV - after the Wagner rebels vowed to punish military leaders and headed for Moscow.
Body language expert Adrianne Carter warned Putin has never looked more dangerous, telling the Daily Star: 'Putin shows high levels of anger and dislike.'
She added: 'He's in action mode so beware!'
During this morning's unscheduled TV address to Russian civilians, the president threatened that 'everyone who took part' in the Wagner rebellion would be punished.

I have been following the slaughter of this only with regard to the Biden ATM aspects for funding his beloved Ukraine. This chapter of Hammers Slammers seems weird to me for many reasons, the chief of which is that a mercenary revolt in a patriotic conquest of perceived stolen territory has no chance of popular support. They also appear to still be deployed in Syria. Maybe Hillary will assume those payments.

Those who did not participate in the coup will have to sign contracts withe the Russian MoD. They become SHOIGU!'s property.
BREAKING: The US believes concessions were made over Sergei Shoigu's future as well as others during talks with Prigozhin, a senior US official says - ABC https://t.co/5yZy6GxLS2pic.twitter.com/wOgL29H1Cc
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.

Mere sideshow. With 85% approval among Russians Putin is stronger than ever. This was a western juiced media blitz. Always trying to destroy Russia from within as they show incompetence in actual war efforts. Now I will be interested in seeing what happens next with the money spent and war materials spent. The west wants war and they shall have it ground down to the bitter end. The world has changed. The multi polar world is here to stay.The media psyops continues it's propaganda.

With 85% approval among Russians Putin is stronger than ever.
Why only 85%, Dale? Enver Hoxha, former president of communist Albania, was reelected with over 95% of 98% of the ballots and he boasted to that "With this vote we prove that Albania's 98% literacy is the highest in Europe!"

Prigozhin loses a big part of Wagner to Russian MoD anyway. Prigozhin didn't learn the old proverb, if you stab at the king be sure to kill him, to his own peril.
How does Prigozhin (while still breathing) pay for what remains? HQ and cash seized. Foreign banks accounts are probably frozen by US and EU. If Putin still pays for mini-Wagner, he looks weak and intimidated after Prigozhin stated there will be a new leader in the Kremlin.

OK, from the 49 Pan perspective. This Wagner group was Putin's killer elites. Who paid them? My guess is they are paid by the oligarchs... Putin has had/forced the strange deaths of many oligarchs, making them very nervous. Me thinks the oligarchs haver gotten to the Wanger group and the coup is on and paid for. Why did Wagner back off? The threat of killing the leaders family is a joke. I think Putin threatened to tactically nuke them. Its the only thing that would stop these thugs. There is 20,000 more Wagner associates in Africa, lets see where they move to, their placement will be strategic. Belarus is playing with fire allowing them there. This whole event was a movement to contact, and now Putin has an armed war on two fronts, and a internal one with the oligarchs that are losing treasure... Popcorn anyone??

[Korrespondent] 22:50 Peskov said that Prigozhin "will leave for Belarus", the criminal case against him will be dropped. The Kremlin speaker added that the Wagner PMC fighters who participated in today's events will not be prosecuted, and those who wish will be able to sign a contract with the Russian Defense Ministry. All is forgiven? Good to know.
Personnel changes in the Russian Defense Ministry were not discussed during negotiations with Prigozhin, Peskov said.
21:27 Prigozhin said that his mercenaries were deploying columns and returning to field camps: “In a day we passed, not reaching 200 km to Moscow. Now the moment has come when blood can be shed. Realizing all the responsibility that Russian blood can be shed , we turn our columns and leave for the field camps according to the plan." For more details, see Prigozhin's Revolt. Online .
20:51 Biden held telephone conversations with the leaders of Germany, France and Great Britain and discussed the situation in Russia. He stressed that Washington continues to support Ukraine.
20:28 Zelensky said in an evening video message that in one day Russia lost several of its million-plus cities and showed "to all Russian bandits, mercenaries, oligarchs and anyone else" how easy it is to capture Russian cities and, probably, arsenals with weapons : "And if someone in the world is trying to lull the situation, if someone in the world is under the illusion that the Kremlin is able to regain control, then only postponing the problem until the next breakthrough of chaos - even more dangerous."
The President emphasized that Ukraine is capable of protecting Europe: “We know that only our unity protects us. Ukraine will definitely be able to protect Europe from any Russian forces, no matter who commands them. The security of Europe’s eastern flank rests only on our defense. And that is why every manifestation of support for our defense is support for your defense, all in the free world.Ukrainian soldiers, Ukrainian guns, Ukrainian tanks, Ukrainian missiles - this is all that protects Europe from such marches as we see today on Russian territory. And when we apply for the F-16 or ATACMS, we develop our overall defense. Now is the time to provide all the weapons necessary for defense."
Zelensky also noted that NATO is not just a word or a set of formal promises, it is a reliable guarantee for everyone that the world will not be destroyed: "Without Ukraine, such guarantees are worth nothing. Already in July, at the summit in Vilnius, there is a historic chance for real decisions without regard to Russia. Any nation bordering Russia really supports this."
20:04 The eastern group of troops today launched an offensive in several directions at the same time: in the direction of Orekhovo-Vasilyevka, Bakhmut, Bogdanovka, Yagodnoye, Kleshcheevka, Kurdyumovka.

All military equipment, which until now has remained in reserve in the border regions, is being brought to Moscow.
12:55 Zelensky commented on the events in the Russian Federation: “Russia has long masked its weakness and stupidity of its rule with propaganda. And now there is so much chaos that you can’t hide it with any lie. And all this is one person who again and again scares the 1917 year, although "Weakness of Russia is obvious. Full-scale weakness. And the longer Russia keeps its troops and mercenaries on our soil, the more chaos, pain and problems for itself then it will receive. This is also obvious. Ukraine is able to protect Europe from the spread of Russian evil and chaos. We keep our fortress, unity and strength. All our commanders, all our soldiers know what to do."
11:27 Prigozhin accused the Russian Defense Ministry of attacking the camp of his mercenaries in Ukraine and went with the militants to Moscow. Correspondent.net covers this topic in detail in the material Prigozhin's Revolt. Online .

10:28 Putin compared Prigozhin's rebellion with "the blow that was inflicted on Russia in 1917, then it all ended in the tragedy of the Civil War." He called the current events a stab in the back: "In the current situation, Russia is faced with betrayal ... Excessive ambitions and personal interests have led to treason. Everyone who deliberately embarked on the path of betrayal will suffer inevitable punishment, will answer both before the law and before the people" .
According to Putin, the Russian Armed Forces and other government agencies have received the necessary orders to neutralize those who organized the armed rebellion, "decisive actions will be taken" to stabilize the situation in Rostov-on-Don.

6. Traffic on the M4 highway is blocked - there will also be no losses in case of impacts.
7. According to unconfirmed information, general mobilization will be announced on the 26th (in case of heavy losses, our offensive will not stop);
8. The plane of the Supreme Commander flew to St. Petersburg - in the event of strikes against the Kremlin and other things, the GDP will not be there, and the button too.
21:55 Video- In Moscow, the Russian Guard is leaving for its permanent deployment points.
21:53 The press service of the governor of the Rostov region - about the statement of Prigozhin, who decided to return his fighters to their positions: "we suggest waiting for actions and commenting on them, not words."
21:50 Governor of the Lipetsk Region Igor Artamonov: Lipetsk Region cancels restrictions introduced in the region, traffic on regional highways will open in the near future.
21:33 Video- After the announcement that the President of Belarus and the head of the Wagner PMC agreed that a bloody massacre on the territory of Russia is unacceptable, the situation at the headquarters of the Southern Military District in Rostov sharply deescalated. The roads are still blocked, but the Wagners are already packing their things, BCs and so on. Getting ready to go.
21:24 NATO media as usual: when has begun to march, they became Wagner forces and freedom fighters. After the agreement, they became terrorists again.
21:10 Video- Statement of a soldier of the 217th Regiment. Must-see.
20:36 Rejoice prematurely: according to intelligence data, the next phase of the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is expected to begin tonight.
The main blows will be directed not only to the Bakhmut, Yuzhnodonetsk and Zaporozhye directions: activation is expected along the entire front line. Yes, this may turn out to be another radio game and an attempt to mislead the Russian troops in order to keep the RF Armed Forces in constant tension and strike at an unexpected moment.
Let's repeat: since yesterday, foreign specialists began to arrive in Ukraine, who should form the basis of support groups and a contingent of military advisers for the next wave of strikes on Russian territories.
20:00 "March of justice" PMC "Wagner" to Moscow, which is known as of 19.00
The leadership of the counterterrorist operation to suppress the rebellion of Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Wagner PMC decided to equip a line along the southern bank of the Oka River in order to prevent the Wagnerites from advancing towards Moscow.
There is no exact data on where exactly the PMC is located. According to rumors, in Serpukhov, locals heard a shooting battle, and in Kashira they saw PMCs.
In Moscow, units of the mobile reserve from other regions of Russia were airlifted by military transport aviation. Military personnel are sent from St. Petersburg by train. In some military units in Moscow and the region, a collection of vacationers has been announced by the end of June 24.
The Chechen units of "Akhmat" have not yet reached the center of Rostov-on-Don: PMC units are still holding the defense on the spot.
Ukrainian information warfare authorities are actively throwing in fakes, trying to discredit the RF Armed Forces and bring even more confusion. This does not negate the fact that on the ground PMC "Wagner" enjoys situational support, because the fighters of the RF Armed Forces also had the same questions to the leadership of the RF Ministry of Defense. This, among other things, is due to the rapid advance of PMCs to the capital.
By and large, the situation is close to completion: we do not believe in prolonged urban fighting in the capital in case of further escalation of the situation.
According to unverified information, in a couple of hours in Moscow and the region they should begin to jam mobile communications and the Internet.
If this happens, the nightly events in Moscow will remain, in many respects, a secret, and we will learn about the results of the rebellious “justice march” after the completion of this grandiose action. There are enough questions about the ongoing events: much is done so deliberately that you seriously feel like the hero of some tricky chess game.
Too many troop movements and maneuvers to just "suppress the rebellion."
19:30 Worth marking that now the work of the Ukrainian special services and information workers is being activated with the aim of psychologically influencing our front-line soldiers. Messages and propaganda leaflets will be distributed with the main theses “everything is lost”, “surrender”, “desert”, etc. You should not react to this and delve into the essence of the material sent by the enemy. In addition to sophisticated lies, this information carries nothing.
It must be remembered that only our mistakes can stand between us and victory in this war. This has happened before. All the successes of the enemy in this war are only our mistakes. Nothing brilliant ukro-NATO command so come up with and could not. Their only chance of success is our mistakes, to which the enemy will try to push us.
19:05 The Russian Armed Forces are ready for any developments at the front. Colors with the Ukrainian Nazis continue. All the military are ready to fulfill their military duty to the end.
18:29 Another fake: Prigozhin allegedly enlisted the support of Surovikin and is transferring PMC units from Syria.
Noted.
All Il-76s are now involved in the transfer of fire brigades of the RF Armed Forces to the capital region.
The organization of the departure and transfer of anyone from Syria or African countries would require much more time than a forced march from Rostov to Moscow.
Surovikin is engaged in planned combat work at the headquarters of the United Group of Forces in Rostov-on-Don. It is not even clear yet whether he met with Prigozhin in Rostov in the morning or not - there are only shots with Yunus-Bek Yevkurov and Vladimir Alekseev.
There are practically no PMC detachments in Syria: small groups in the province of Homs and coordinators in Khmeimim and Damascus. Who can be thrown there is highly incomprehensible.
18:06 Repair on the battlefield - Junior sergeant of the technical platoon Nikita Kondrulin advanced to the line of contact as part of an on-site repair group for the prompt repair of equipment damaged in battle.
In the field, being under regular nationalist fire, risking his own life, Nikita repaired, replaced units and assemblies on four Hyacinth artillery mounts that had lost their combat capability as a result of enemy fire.
Thanks to the dedication and skills of junior sergeant Nikita Kondrulin, the continuous work of the artillery unit performing a combat mission was ensured.
17:30 Counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: Orekhovsky sector settingas of 17.00 June 24, 2023
While the whole world is watching the rebellion of the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin and the "march of justice" to Moscow, active hostilities continue at the front. And the most intense pressure falls on the Orekhovsky area.
Ukrainian formations advanced 1.5 km north of Rabotino, taking up landings. Reinforcements of special forces from among the 22nd detachment of the Special Forces and the 45th detachment of the Special Forces of the Airborne Forces were transferred to the site to help the infantry units, which, under pressure from the enemy, were forced to retreat.
In the event that the Russian troops succeed in regrouping and seizing the initiative, it is possible to close the advancing enemy groups into a "cauldron" north of Rabotino - at least the RF Armed Forces have enough forces and means in the sector.
According to the Archangel of the Spetsnaz, a concentration of enemy infantry was revealed near Nesteryanka: after a successful fire defeat, the Ukrainian formations were dispersed.
Pyatikhatki are still partly in the gray zone, partly under the control of the enemy. There is no confident control of the RF Armed Forces over the settlement, the Russian infantry is working on enemy reinforcements trying to move forward.
In general, there are too many problems in the Zaporozhye direction, so the fighters, to put it mildly, do not pay much attention to the rebellious marches in the rear.
17:15 Video- Ukrainian TsIPSO began to disperse fakes about the transition to the side of Prigozhin 217 Parachute Regiment of the 98 Airborne Division of the Airborne Forces.
And it would be okay with inconsistencies in the form of clothing and weapons. Since the beginning of the 2000s, airborne units have been armed with the AK-74M, but more recently, the AK-12. Here on the footage - AK-74 of the old model, long removed from service.
This can also be attributed to “dress number 8”.
Only units of the 98th Division are now on the front line and counterattacking, and they definitely don’t have time to sit in offices with yellow walls.
16:55 Sappers of ZVO neutralize the territory of Novaya Tavolzhanka
Our guys from the engineering and sapper units of the Western Military District continue to work on the continuous cleaning of the territory of Novaya Tavolzhanka from explosive objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Each cleared mine is another step closer to peaceful life.
True, no matter where applied around the world. Have they considered hiring the giant mine-sniffing rats?
Specialists of the Western Military District are examining houses, plots and forests for the presence of explosives, anti-tank and anti-personnel mines, which were left behind by sabotage groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Sappers are looking for unexploded rounds fired by enemy artillery at the homes of civilians.
The servicemen, together with the district police officer, make a door-to-door tour of the villagers, who turned to the authorities for help in removing unexploded ordnance from their homes.
Sappers clear the territory and give advice to residents on where to go if suspicious items are found.
16:30 Kadyrovtsy approaching to Rostov
Local publics write that they are 7 km from the city.
15:55 Work at the frontboils.
N.p. Nesteryanka: in the sector of our defense, north-west of the settlement, an enemy ops was found. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are doing their best to strengthen their positions and reduce the distance between positions on the LBS.
A mortar crew was also opened here, inflicting fire on the forward positions of our troops.
A vehicle transporting personnel and ammunition was also found.
Artillery strikes were made on all objects, the targets were hit.
15:24 Video- Akhmat divisions in the Rostov region.

14:55 Ka-52 hits column Wagner on the bypass of Voronezh, against the backdrop of a burning oil depot, that is, the blow is delivered after Wagner's air defense fired at helicopters.
14:28 Video- And here is the Akhmat column itself, together with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, is going towards Rostov.
The subscriber said that it stretched for several kilometers.
14:15 Refuted fakes.
Noted.
1. Riots in Moscow pre-trial detention centers. The Federal Penitentiary Service has already denied that there are no riots in Moscow pre-trial detention centers.
2. Medvedev left Moscow. Already refuted - Medvedev continues to work in Moscow.
3. Explosions in the Crimea. The Crimean authorities denied that there were no explosions in Crimea.
Be careful, CIPSO is now throwing in a lot of different misinformation.
14:00 Momen tlets go SAM "Strela-10M" PMC "Wagner" on the helicopter Ka-52 Russian Aerospace Forces.
The “eggs of life” worked and the SAM missile hit the Tank Farm.
Well, then you know.
13:34 In the Lipetsk region blocked entrances to the M-4 highway - authorities.
13:08 Vladimir Putin Supreme Commander-in-Chief President has spoken
Our duty - officers and soldiers, volunteers, volunteers and ordinary citizens of Russia - is to do as the Supreme Commander says.
We have no room for error.
Vladimir Rogov.
12:40 Video– Our country is big, and many want to bite off a fat piece of it
Vadim, a serviceman of the RF Armed Forces, a volunteer of the Sudoplatov battalion, spoke about front-line everyday life in the NVO zone.
“Although our D-30 gun is old,” he says with a smile, “but he sets fire to new German tanks like candles. We live under the slogan: Nobody but us! All my friends, as difficult times began, signed contracts and left to fight. And I, if I sit at such a time at home, I will experience discomfort. After all, our country is large, and many want to bite off a fat piece of it. That's why I'm here. Today we should receive confirmation that we hit a tank and another armored vehicle. But it has become routine. Here one of our servicemen knocked out several tanks from LNG - this is work, one can only envy! says Vadim.
12:25 The situation at the front is normal, near Orekhov and Artemovsk there are regular artillery duels and skirmishes, there are no intense battles.
We discussed the situation with our comrades in the hottest sectors of the front. The fighters are normal, there is no demoralization, of course everyone looks at what is happening with bewilderment, continuing to complete tasks.
The people and the army are united.
11:55 Kherson direction overnight Korsunka, Krynki and Dnieper, the situation is as follows.
We do not know what is happening with the Wagner PMC, perhaps this is a strategic move, but it is too full-scale, and perhaps not. But if in reality, PMC Wagner decided to quarrel with the MoD, they decided to do it at the wrong time.
We believe they will figure it out, there are many structures in the Russian Federation and most of the army, no one will allow the use of weapons at home, and both sides understand that this is our home and we are all brothers !!!
The Armed Forces of Ukraine can not strain or relax the rolls, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have both stood and will stand in their positions.
The night passed quite quietly, aerial reconnaissance was carried out in two directions.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are probably also confused about what is happening in our home at the moment in Russia.
Being at the forefront, we are also worried, as we are fulfilling our task and our military duty, to defend the interests of the Russian Federation and protect our home.
Victory will be ours!
11:34 Video– With the support of Hyacinths
Artillerymen of the Southern Military District, supporting the actions of our units in the Zaporozhye direction, continue to deliver massive strikes against the advancing Ukrainian nationalists.
The movement of enemy forces around the clock is monitored by operators of unmanned aerial vehicle crews, who immediately transmit the coordinates of targets for inflicting fire damage.
Calculations of 152mm howitzers "Hyacinth-B" with quick fire destroy single and group targets almost the first time, and also conduct counter-battery fire and strike at enemy rear areas.
11:00 The Rossiya-24 TV channel, citing eyewitnesses, reported that some of the Wagner PMC fighters returned to their positions, which they had previously been called upon by the Russian Defense Ministry.
10:28 I am writing off guys from the Orekhovo front, I ask you how you look at all this. And they are not up to it at all: “While you are swearing there, we are holding back crests. What's going on, we don't understand. Yes, I may be dissatisfied with the leadership of mo, but in the army there is a concept - commanders are not chosen and orders are not discussed. And there is an oath, and now the enemy is opposite us, and not in the rear. What is in the rear is a political game.”
The opinion of this person is important to me, I was sitting with him in the same trench under the blows of enemy aircraft from the cabriolet on the Zaporozhye front. And Wagner became familiar to me during the months of the Artemov epic. I am proud to have worked with them shoulder to shoulder in Soledar, Krasnaya Gora, Bakhmut…
But I can't accept what's happening now. When we are literally fighting a war of survival, when every bayonet, every copter, every “loaf” counts, when we lose the best of us, Wagner attack aircraft could become the vanguard of our future counteroffensive.
Instead, they are drawn into a dirty political game that threatens with disastrous consequences for the state. Today, putting personal grievances and ambitions above the common goal is working against the interests of the country.
I repeat, now there is no side of Shoigu or Prigozhin's side. Now there is the side of the enemy and the side of Russia, headed by the Supreme Commander. And I am on the side of Russia and the president.
10:03 Video- During the next battle, our marines captured the personnel of the 56th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Welcome to gentle and kind hands.
09:49 Presenter Vladimir Solovyov spoke about the situation with Wagner PMC -video.
09:34 Infantry of the 2nd Army Corps is storming the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Spornoye and is engaged in close combat with the Ukrainian infantry on the defensive line. In recent days, advancement in the area of ????Disputed has amounted to two km -video.
09:20 Ex-head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin, who is in the NVO zone, said:
“I know the situation at the front as well as Prigozhin and I have never hidden my position, but no matter how the armed rebellion is explained, it is still precisely an armed rebellion in the rear of a warring army. In war, you need to shove your political ambitions up your ass and support the front with all your might. Any attempt to weaken him is nothing but aiding the enemy.”
09:14 Russian political scientist Dmitry Evstafiev declared that every decent person, every patriot must now do the main thing - to put aside all insults and support the Supreme Commander.
“I have many claims to the authorities, including those concerning the NWO. Everyone knows that for my position and for speaking openly, I got hit in the head. And was expelled from some media. But I cannot say that what is happening is a stab in the back of a warring army. And not only the army - the country. I don't know how this will all end. And what. But I was afraid of mine. In the wild 1990s, in the cowardly 2000s. It's scary for the future of the country.
We now have a unique chance to create conditions for a happy future for our children and grandchildren. Exactly. We do not even always understand what lies on the scales of History. Every decent person, every patriot must now do the main thing - to cast aside all grievances (I have them too) and support the Supreme. And for those who went after the flowery phrases of manipulative politicians, I want to advise you to just stop. Sit on the side of the road and think about where they are going and why,” the political scientist wrote in his Telegram channel.
09:02 Creator of the Vostok brigade Alexander Khodakovsky on what is happening in Russia and the situation on the fronts of the special military operation in Ukraine.
“Thank God that despite all the mess that is happening, our soldiers stand in their positions and do their duty. I don’t know how to qualify the situation, but if something happens on the front line now, it will also be a consequence of what is happening in the rear in the narrow and broad sense.
Anticipating the development of events, I wrote publications that the monopoly on the use of force should be in the hands of the state. Paying tribute to the feat of the Russian fighters who fought in the Wagner PMC, I anxiously awaited what was happening before our eyes and hoped that this would not happen.
The temptation to straighten your shoulders and show strength at a time when all the country's resources are directed against the enemy is very strong, and it turned out to be impossible to resist it. The authority of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief is high, and events have not yet entered an irreversible phase - everything will soon stabilize.
09:00 The criminal Kiev regime continues to shell the civilian infrastructure of the settlements on the left bank of the Kherson region, yesterday during the day the Armed Forces of Ukraine were fired from barrel artillery:

08:34 As reported, the enemy's attack on Rabotino (Orekhovskoye direction) has again bogged down. The enemy suffered losses.
08:13 Chronicle of the special military operation: events of June 23, 2023:
Near Kremennaya, Russian troops continue their offensive operation in Serebryansky forestry. At the same time, massive strikes are carried out against the rear areas. The enemy hastily transfers additional reserves to the area.
In the Seversky sector, Russian units continue the assault on the Belogorovsky fortified area. Russian servicemen completely occupied the territory of the Popasnyansky district water utility, the battles for which had been going on for several months.
Heavy fighting continues in Maryinka, where Russian units repulsed several UAF counterattacks. Offensive battles continue to the southeast with the aim of reaching Novomikhailovka.
In the Vremievsky area, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is concentrating forces in forest plantations near Makarovka. At the same time, Russian troops managed to expand the zone of control in the Novodonetsk area.
In the Zaporozhye direction, the main events are concentrated on the Orekhovsky sector of the front. The enemy launched another attack on the positions of Russian units in the direction of Rabotino, but did not achieve any success.
To the west, heavy fighting continues in the area of ??Pyatihatki. The settlement, which has changed hands several times over the past day, is currently in the “gray” zone.
01:39 Artemovsk, flanks, Razdolovka area, June 24 01:30:
Our soldiers, after repulsing another attempt at a breakthrough, rushed forward themselves and occupied the first line of enemy trenches located in a forest plantation.
1. Yevgeny Prigozhin and PMC "Wagner" goes to Belarus to guard the border with Ukraine and Poland. This is the essence of Lukashenka's guarantees. It was he who guaranteed Putin that he would look after him. Kyiv early began to rejoice in civil strife and will receive a full-fledged grouping of 50,000 people in the north.
2. Sergei Shoigu will resign. Most likely in connection with the transition to the post of plenipotentiary. Most likely the Siberian Federal District.
3. Tula governor Alexei Dyumin really stopped Prigozhin and acted as the main negotiator. Future Minister of Defense.
Dyumin was Putin's chief bodyguard. Putin has been promoting his FSO bodyguards to prominent positions, like the Roman Praetorian guards during their decline. The circle of people Putin trusts has been getting more and more selective.

Meanwhile Ukrainians are cutting Russian supply lines and battering their defense lines while officers continue their corrupt tricks regardless of their desperate plight. POW complains about poor supplies to Russian invasion army "We used to starve while bleeding out," this is how a prisoner of war from the 269th separate rifle battalion, Oleksandr Golovko, 42, of Horlivka, spoke about poor supplies to their unit, as well as how soldiers are forced to buy things from their senior officers," Sirskyi said.
The POW said mass bribery is flourishing among the Russian forces, as well as reported a large number of casualties, "hundreds of whom died at their positions due to poorly organized medevac and lack of medical supplies."

Meanwhile, while the whole of Russia is distracted, the Ukrainians are making gains on both the east and south. Russian troops are confused, apathetic and surrenders are up. Ukrainians even cross the Dniepr at the Antonovsky bridge.
[Foreign Affairs] Stephen Kotkin is a preeminent historian of Russia and the author of an acclaimed three-volume biography of Joseph Stalin (the third volume is forthcoming). Executive Editor Justin Vogt spoke with him earlier today about the dramatic events that have taken place in Russia in the last 24 hours. This conversation has been edited for clarity and length.
Yesterday, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the mercenary Wagner organization, launched a rebellion against the Russian military and a direct challenge to Russian President Vladmir Putin’s rule. As of this afternoon, it seems he has at least temporarily halted what appeared to be a march toward Moscow. It remains exceedingly difficult to know where events in Russia are headed. The situation is fluid, it is early, and we don’t want to jump to conclusions. Still: How could this have happened?
Prigozhin is improvising. Maybe he’s stopped the progress toward Moscow, but now what? Back to base camps, he says. OK: but he’s still in charge. You say coup, I say putsch. You say tomato, I say tomahto: let’s call the whole thing off—but just for now.

...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...
