The USSR was also a nuclear armed 'country'.
Russia may be devoured by its neighbours
Japan, China, Turkey and even Ukraine could lay claim to Moscow’s territories. Putin may reap what he has sownwww.telegraph.co.uk
People seem to forget sometimes Russia is a nuclear armed country and while they might not be utilising them in the current conflict someone invading Russia properly is a very different ballgame and almost certainly will see the utilisation of tactical if not strategic nuclear weapons if Russia can't deal with it conventionally.

It's a interesting problem.
Take a load of criminals, teach them to kill, put them through some hellish stuff, give them access to weapons and then what do you do with the survivors at the end? You can't kill them, you can't imprison them, just turn them lose?
I honestly think they will find themselves right in front of the Ukranian steamroller when it starts. It makes zero sense for Putin to let them back in the country.

It's Russia. Rule of law does not exist.
The Russian leadership will do whatever they want with them, which could be any of the options you ruled out, or something else altogether.
If putin wants, he'll make it prigozhin's problem, and say any agreement was with prihozhin and wagner, not the Russian state.

I think this is a very important message. Russia has shown itself to be really weak. Having said that, every day that goes by, they will get stronger. They are still a big country with massive resources. The question is whether this war will end before they can make use of those resources?

At least they are all being intercepted now.
looks like residential building
indiscriminate fire on civilians is terrorism

It was reported employees were burning documents. Not sure how that would directly to the roof catching on fire but it's possible that incident was used as cover for setting the roof ablaze.
There should be reports/videos of dead/wounded civillians by now if that was the case.
I think this is a town in the Belgorod Oblast south of the actual city of Belgorod itself, which is 20km or so up the road. And by "I think" I mean, it says itBelgorod city administration building on fire
The Russian flag in front of the entrance makes for great symbolism
.EDIT: And to be nice and provide evidence: Street View from 2013, paint is different, building is the one, I believe.

Strange how it only seems to be terrorism if Ukraine does it...
It's not a residential building, it's a administrative building. Generally speaking, government buildings are considered valid military targets - and this appears not to have been an attack anyway.
