Sources of British special services have reported that the Russian secret services threatened to hurt the families of chiefs of the Wagner Private Military Company (PMC) before Yevgeny Prigozhin, the owner and leader of the Wagner PMC, stopped his offensive on Moscow.
It makes sense, but there was so much… chaos. If the goal was to root out traitors, then he didn’t really find many except the ones in Wagner. and there is still a lot of unknown alliances except maybe the airforce.
It also had the unintentional consequence of making Russia look weak, and more importantly gave us a glimpse into their tactics, escape plans, defensive plans. But most importantly, that Russia has no reserve forces except drafting civilians and police in the event of a blitz on moscow.
