Does anyone have sources for this stuff?
I am seeing a lot of conjecture and not a lot of substance. Is this whole thing based on a couple telegram videos? Is there anything to suggest they aren’t just propaganda deepfakes?

The fog of war over Ukraine does continue to frustrate. You really wish there was live, perfect info sources to keep you in the know, but even ten years from now there are sure to be questions.
Edit: just got through the most recent episode and want to warn that it’s a bit crazy conspiratorial, but interesting…

Here’s a pretty good source of almost realtime updates, one of the large pro-war Tg channels. If you are on paid Telegram membership, I think it allows to translate all content.
Not a fan of such media, but I’m from Rostov area so had to subscribe today to stay tuned.
Everything else is filled with deepfakes, old footage and co
But Wagner forces are around 25 000. It is not clear how loyal the bulk of them are towards Prigoshin personally (I have my doubts) but many russian russians share the hate for the MoD.
And there is solid evidence, that they control some area.
Or really any other russian source. Russian militar blogger telegram channels, etc.
(It is a good habit btw. to always also have a look at the opposing side of view)

Also I do not see, where tanks on the road to moscow were fake. It was the russian way of doing politics.
Tanks on the road to Moscow could be used to give an impression of a coup. For all we know Putin set this up to expose any rogue elements looking to oust him.
I do not know which accounts or news agencies you find reputable, so I do not know which one to link so you trust it. But you yourself should know which journals or accounts you trust.
It is doable. With that strategy, I get more cautious news, not the hottest of the hot stuff, but I am pretty sure thing is happening now.
Putin doesn't care about diplomatic relations and almost every reputable media has fled the country.
