    Wait, how could we possibly have a good idea TODAY? Aren’t they in Rustov, almost 1000 km from Moscow?

      They’ve already taken Voronezh as well, some 500km from Moscow and have been reported to be advancing through the Lipetsk province, 350km south of Moscow.

      I see reports of them arriving at Lipetsk (430km from Moscow) just now, after conquering Voronezj (500km from Moscow) about 6 hours ago.

      Putin has already fled Moscow to another province and some top leadership have fled to Turkey. They are moving FAST into Moscow.

      Nobody in their way to stop them, Russian’s army is in Ukraine. If they continue like this Moscow will be put under siege by tomorrow.

        It’s pretty crazy that you even have to qualify that statement with “I don’t think”. Moscow, the Russian capital, is legitimately under threat of being overrun by a rogue mercenary group and Putin has already fled the city. That’s insane.

        I know these situations are different for many reasons, but it’s starting to feel reminiscent of Afghanistan’s rapid fall to the Taliban. People are just waiting for and expecting some military defense to manifest, but…where is it?

      They’re already moving fast toward Moscow. They’re saying they’re in Voronezh already but fog of war means we don’t know for sure for a while.

      They’re taking over Rustov because of a huge military supply there.
