    Yeah, absolutely bizarre that he made it out to Belarus with a sympathetic Lushenko, reportedly to Africa with Wagner having overthrown governments there, then returned to Russia ?!?

    I do wonder if Putin guaranteed something - then Shoigu and Gerasimov finished him off, with or without Putin turning a blind eye. Surovikin did get removed relatively recently too.

      There is also the possibility that his family was being threatened if he didn’t end the march to Moscow.
