Looks like disruption on the the M4 highway is spreading as far north as the Moscow interchange - probable they are setting up checkpoints there.

EDIT: Now closures being posted only 17 miles south of Moscow on the link roads.

EDIT2: Russian air force planes flying south out of Moscow, mostly not combat aircraft.

Dunno how widespread but at least some Rosgvardia units seem to be siding with Wagner - if this is as it seems at face value and Rosgvardia as a whole put their lot in with Prigozhin things will get very messy very quickly. Rosgvardia are in many ways Putin's private army but supposedly the head of Rosgvardia is close to Prigozhin.

EDIT: Though as many say it would be very unlikely for Zolotov to turn against Putin albeit the underlying target of Wagner seems to be the Russian MOD rather than Putin.

Heres a completely wild, shower thought take: What if this is a play to force Ukraine to commit to an offensive somewhere? From what was said, Ukraine is yet to commit most of their troops, maybe showing this weakness is to force the main offensive?

While possible Ukraine seems fairly intent on moving at their own pace so doubt it'd work.
 
The Wagner statement is quite something!

New audio statement by Prigozhin (00:03 BST), stating Wagner "crossed state borders in all areas" and is now entering Rostov, promising to "destroy anything standing in their way":

"The current situation: today, we were dealt a missile strike. After this strike, helicopters did their work. Then, artillery.

The orders were coming from the Head of General Staff to destroy PMC Wagner. After a meeting with the Minister of Defence Shoygu where they made this decision - to destroy the rebellious units, who are ready to defend the motherland, but not their asses.

As of now, we’ve crossed the state borders in all areas. Border guards came towards us and hugged our fighters.

Now, we’re entering Rostov. Units of the Ministry of Defence, in fact, the conscripts who were thrown to block our path, moved away.

We do not fight with children. We do not kill children. Shoygu is killing children by throwing untrained soldiers, conscripts included, into the war.

He set up 18-year-old lads against us. They’re like children and grandchildren to us. Therefore, these lads will live and return to their mothers.

We only fight with professionals. But if someone stands in our path, we will destroy EVERYTHING in our way.

We lend a hand to anyone. No need to spit in this hand. We are moving forward, going to the end.

Regarding claims regarding the arrest: this brotherhood, this justice, this honour, this conscience is what we have. But when you make these claims, you haven’t got these feelings. These feelings are destroyed. Thus, you cannot understand anything but betrayal."

I'm hearing a lot of talk about Wagner destroying everything, but I'm not seeing any evidence of Wagner destroying anything.

He's sitting in the ministry of defence building, probably taking everyone there hostage to deter a bombing is my guess, until he leaves, he never stays I one place for long

That video of the body language between Shoigu and Putin spoke volumes from a little while ago.
My guess, they see the writing on the wall and using him as a scapegoat for the whole thing. Seems a desperate play.
 
Well that’s getting spicy. Now is the time for Ukraine while the Russians are looking inward. 6 hours to Moscow from there, it’s about to get wild.

Prigozhin is currently strutting about the military HQ in Rostov-on-Don. So, how long before there's a tactical nuke detonating on or over that city?

It’s that or Wagner could just strut into Moscow and take it over.
