Important Takeaways:
- Wall Street Journal: Wagner boss planned to capture top Russian defense chiefs
- Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin planned to seize two top Russian military officials when he launched a short-lived mutiny on Saturday, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing Western officials.
- Prigozhin’s plot involved the capture of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and top army general Valery Gerasimov when the pair visited a region along the border of Ukraine, the WSJ wrote.
- Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) learned of the plot two days before it was due to take place, forcing Prigozhin to change his plans at the last minute and launch a march towards Moscow instead, according to the report.
- Wagner mercenaries took control of a key military base in the city of Rostov-on-Don, and his troops were approaching the Russian capital when Prigozhin called off his mutiny.
- When asked about the WSJ report, two European security sources told CNN that while it was likely Prigozhin would have expressed a desire to capture Russian military leaders, there was no assessment as to whether he had a credible plan to do so.

- Details: According to Budanov, Russia has completed preparations for the terrorist attack on the ZNPP.

- Ukrainian intelligence has determined that Russian troops have moved vehicles packed with explosives to four of the six power units.
- According to the head of the Defense Intelligence, Russia’s order to commit a terrorist attack on the ZNPP may have been caused by the defeat of the Russian occupation forces on the Left Bank of Dnipro ― Russia considers creation of a nuclear disaster zone a safeguard for the further advance of the defense forces of Ukraine.
- There is frustration in Ukrainian intelligence and government circles that the international community’s response to the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam on 6 June was so muted that this could provoke further use of “scorched Earth tactic,” the newspaper notes.

Important Takeaways:
- Wagner Chief Says He Ordered His Russian Mercenaries to Halt March on Moscow and Return to Ukraine
- A rebellious mercenary commander said Saturday he ordered his mercenaries to halt their march on Moscow and retreat to field camps in Ukraine, appearing to defuse a dramatically escalating crisis that represented the most significant challenge to President Vladimir Putin in his more than two decades in power.
- Moscow had braced for the arrival of forces from the Wagner Group, a private army led by Yevgeny Prigozhin that has been fighting alongside regular Russian troops in Ukraine, by erecting checkpoints with armored vehicles and troops on the city’s southern edge. Red Square was shut down, and the mayor urged motorists to stay off some roads.
- But Prigozhin announced that while his men were just 200 kilometers (120 miles) from Moscow, he decided to turn them back to avoid “shedding Russian blood.”
- He did not say whether the Kremlin had responded to his demand to oust Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. There was no immediate comment from Putin’s government.
- Putin had vowed harsh consequences for organizers of the armed uprising led by his onetime protege, who brought his forces out of Ukraine, seized a key military facility in southern Russia and advanced toward Moscow.
- In a televised speech to the nation, Putin called the rebellion a “betrayal” and “treason.”
- “All those who prepared the rebellion will suffer inevitable punishment,” Putin said. “The armed forces and other government agencies have received the necessary orders.”

Important Takeaways:
- A Massive Ukraine Dam Has Been Destroyed, And Both Sides Are Pointing Fingers.
- The destruction of a Ukrainian dam approaching the scale of America’s Hoover Dam has unleashed a devastating torrent of water in the country’s south. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky blamed Russia for damage to the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant.
- Russian officials, however, say the attack on the dam was a “deliberate act of sabotage” by Ukraine, “linked to the fact that, having begun large-scale offensive operations two days ago, the Ukrainian armed forces are not achieving their aims.”
- The BBC opines that Ukraine’s claims are “plausible” given major flooding in the region could hinder a Ukrainian counter-offensive – but the Ukrainians told The Washington Post in December that they had been considered blowing the dam, and even conducted a successful HIMARS test strike on its floodgates:
- “The Ukrainians… even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages.”
- – Washington Post, December 29 2022
- Several villages are currently believed to be submerged. The dam held back a volume of water roughly equivalent to the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
