I am curious on how this will reflect on the Ukraine invasion: as far as I understand, Wagner was a huge source of soldiers on the front lines.

I am sure this coup, however it will ends, is a major source of distraction from the war. Meanwhile, Ukraine is pushing east: will they be able to use this coup to liberate some territories?

Surely at least part of the regular Russian army will have to be pulled back to defend Moscow.

The big question, the only question that really matters at this point, is will the Russian military remain loyal?

If they don't then it's all over for Putin.

An additional qiestin would be is : how many experienced groups do they have vs new conscripts with minimal training?
