Rumors are going round that Wagner units are attempting a coup against the russian ministry of defense.

I will try to find better sources than this.

Here is a translation of Prigozhin last love letter to Moscow:

"PMC Wagner Commanders’ Council made a decision: the evil brought by the military leadership of the country must be stopped.

They neglect the lives of soldiers.

They forgot the word “justice”, and we will bring it back.

Those, who destroyed today our guys, who destroyed tens, tens of thousands of lives of Russian soldiers will be punished.

I’m asking: no one resist. Everyone who will try to resist, we will consider them a danger and destroy them immediately, including any checkpoints on our way. And any aviation that we see above our heads.

I’m asking everyone to remain calm, do not succumb to provocations, and remain in their houses. Ideally, those along our way, do not go outside.

After we finished what we started, we will return to the frontline to protect our motherland. Presidential authority, Government, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Rosgvardia, and other departments will continue operating as before. We will deal with those who destroy Russian soldiers.

And we will return to the frontline.

Justice in the Army will be restored.

And after this, justice for the whole of Russia."

Resolves early if there is widespread media consensus for either side.

Otherwise resolves according to my gut feeling about this having been a coup or a false alarm.

Edit: Due to this market getting traction I sold all my shares so as to not seem biased when resolving this.
