what makes you think they're getting rid of the group? they're only "getting rid" of the man who spoke to the media. this is what russia does. all of those other 50k soldiers are going to be signed into the military, and they're all going to be moved. if they move with their figurehead, that means they're all going to belarus. the same place where they're saying they're going to move nukes, and the president of belarus is becoming more and more of a known player by the day.

striking from the north and also striking again from the east/south forces ukraine to protect both side of their country, and also weakens them on the east where they need to maintain their foothold. i'm not saying russia will actually make any progress, but this attack sounds like a better idea than just hitting from the east constantly.

i wish there was enough for an uprising internally but i just don't see it. especially not after this spectacle.

russia can't attack from belarus as previously mentioned, the border is heavily mined and any demining efforts would take weeks and would telegraph any attack. when russia had the element of surprise and still had elite troops and fresh legs they got routed trying to invade from belarus. now they are much weaker and wouldn't have the element of surprise.

prigozhin is no fool, he is currently traveling with his 25k strong army and won't agree to be separated from them. russia is too weak to forcibly take away his army via force and both sides have something to gain by letting it appear to be settled while prigozhin takes his forces to belarus or wherever else he wants to go since putin and russia are too weak to stop him.
