(#) Russian milblogger Rybar provided a short update a little while ago.

Per reports, Wagner forces reached Yelets, Lipetsk Oblast, roughly 350km from Moscow.

Rybar claims that the Wagner column includes anywhere from 150-400 pieces of equipment/vehicles.

(#) Images of part of the Wagner convoy outside of Voronezh earlier today, with a few thoughts.

- T-72B3 on a heavy equipment transporter, with the crew riding in the tank, theoretically they could roll off very quickly or even engage a target from the transporter.

(#) Wagner infantry using a conventional trailer for transport, makes Russian target discrimination near impossible.

(#) One thing I have noticed, while Wagner is hauling a company-size formation of tanks to Moscow, lightly armed Russian Rosgvardiya forces have been unable to put any heavy armor on the streets in Moscow.

Seen below, a checkpoint south of Moscow with a single BTR-80.

(#) And why should they? Rosgvardiya is a light paramilitary force, dealing with tanks is for the Russian Army. The Russian army isn’t in Moscow though.

Dmitri: Prigozhin says it's over:

"They were going to dismantle PMC Wagner. We came out on 23 June to the March of Justice. In a day, we walked to nearly 200km away from Moscow. In this time, we did not spill a single drop of blood of our fighters. Now, the moment has come when blood may spill. That’s why, understanding the responsibility for spilling Russian blood on one of the sides, we are turning back our convoys and going back to field camps according to the plan."
