The situation on the ground is tense and chaotic. Russian sources report that gunfire can be heard in the vicinity of the M4 highway in the Voronezh region. Videos have also surfaced of an “Unknown Convoy” moving through the Rostov Region of Russia. The uniformity in vehicle type and color suggests these could be Russian Forces, but there is no way to confirm this at the moment.

The coup attempt has also had significant casualties. Reports suggest that Putin has killed hundreds of Wagner troops, further escalating the conflict. The leader of the Wagner Grouphas called for the Russian defense minister and senior generals to be removed, signaling a potential power shift in Russia’s political landscape.
Glad our national news channels are talking about trump, the supreme court, and nothing about the Russian coup. And BBC has on a women and gambling special. Not like anyone should care what is going on in Russia.
