"Osechkin: Russia's entire 22nd Special Forces Brigade has switched to Prigozhin's side as well as some FSB border guards."
Imagine these experienced soldiers vs the defending troops:
This whole situation makes me feel like something is not right. Why announce it so public?
War full of lies to make the opponent think you go left while you go right.
Russians know more than most people that what you say in public makes a difference, hence why they're so good at misinformation.
If you can get some of the public behind you when making a coup, then later that may be useful, though this likely works only if you have some public support initially.
