That last boost of mine re #Belgorod and #Wagner remains a peculiar situation to my eyes--although we know how the Kremlin is going to portray it, it's ultimately an excuse for the Kremlin to do worse dastardly deeds.
I don't doubt that the Kremlin could use an excuse even if it staged its own excuse. I don't doubt that Zelenskyy knows better than to try something like that himself because of the excuse it hands the Kremlin.
As for #Wagner, it's stated it was going to pull out of Bakhmut, so might as well declare a victory while you're pulling out, huh. So the Kremlin fell for it? Or...??
