There’s a spin to be added to everything.

It seems media doesn’t deny Russia has taken some towns, so now they spin it: “they’re fighting internally over who gets credit!”

This is why NO ONE believes this BS propaganda.

Seems to me that Russia would prefer to have people arguing about who’s liberating towns and cities, rather than who’s losing them.

Prigozhin is the one whining in public about the Russian MOD stealing credit from his mercenary group.

Here’s his post.

What is with the headline saying “taking back” Soledar - has it changed hands during this war?

Latest video: Wagner is still whining big time. Putin, Shoigu and Gerasimov set up Prigozhin. Too funny!

Mercenaries from the Wagner group admit that they did not take #Soledar:

“The city has not yet been taken to the end. We have many, many losses. Evgeny Viktorovich (*Prigozhin) said - stand to the end! I want to convey to our 🇷🇺General Staff - fagots, send people, cartridges!”

How many “retired” North Korean commandos have been hired by the Wagner group? Those mercenaries seem to be the most effective unit the Russians have.

You will tire of defending the indefensible soon. And maybe you'll apologize for the brain freeze but I won't be waiting.

Prigozhin was set up by Shoigu and Gerasimov. Too funny! Now the Russian MOD has cut off his ammo supply. Classic!

The image was fabricated and the original was taken in 2006 with the original image posted at the above link.

I was wondering how the US/Brit media was going to spin the loss of Soledar. I thought they were going to blame it on Russian "war crimes" and "atrocities," like they did for Mariupol. But no, it looks like they're going with a "civil war brewing behind Russian lines" narrative.
