What I’ve been curious about regarding the Wagner Group is ‘motive’. Did someone higher up in the Russian military offer them ‘incentives’ to stage this revolt - such as promotions or bonuses within the military if they can depose certain individuals? There are Russian oligarchs who have lost a lot of money because of Putin’s war (remember the seizure of their yachts a year ago?) - so, Mr Kust, in your digging into this topic, have you seen any evidence, or even hints, that some powerful ‘others’ are financing this rebellion?
Prigozhin has been feuding with Shoigu for months, and lately Prigozhin has been accusing Shoigu of major corruption--much of which is very likely true. Assuming there was an actual attack on Wagner's camps in Ukraine, I don't think we need to look farther for motive.
