Segments of Russian military are ripe for mutiny. They must be weighing-up their choices.
Feed themselves into the meatgrinder in Ukraine under incompetent, brutal leadership, with death (and a major counter-offensive) ahead, or murder for retreat from unsustainable forward positions.
Or, seize regional centres and side with Wagner and bring down the Russian government?
More likely to be greeted with flowers by citizens in Moscow than in Kyiv.
Wagner is smart to focus on the Defence Minister, but ultimately, it is a coup. Once any Russian military units switch sides, the front in Ukraine will dissolve as a consequence. Why would they fight on, since they are the very ones pressed closest to the meatgrinder?
