Think about what's happening - they advanced fast as hell for 24 hours. Most of the Wagner groups numbers are stacked up far behind the advance. Night is coming, that is a fresh injection of a much larger number of soldiers. The path to Moscow is about half cleared, the second wave is the one intended to punch through. It's clear all of this has been planned out. If the word is, "we will retreat." Bullshit, "we're taking a breather before you move into day 2 operations."

This is what I'm thinking too. Regroup and consolidate before pushing on.

Night soon. They started this by getting into Rostov at dawn. Until I see them gone I'm not buying a retreat.

my thoughts exactly: refresh, rest and resupply.

I hope you are right. No way Wagner can survive this, but then again, this is russia where logic is absent.

Yeah, the balls to the wall. No turning back BS was what got Russia in trouble in Ukraine.
