   Hi friends. We’ve got some post-coup #Russia and #Ukraine news to discuss.

   As I suspected… none of this is over, it seems.

   First of all - #Prigozhin is still nowhere to be seen and never confirmed that he arrived in #Belarus

   I’m confirming some of what I’m seeing on Telegram and will be updating this thread over the next hour. Strap in?

     The only other coup-related updates on this channel (which, again, is basically Russian government's main news outlet for their stance on things) are:

     - the US knew about the coup and didn't warn Moscow https://t.me/rian_ru/206968

     - on Sunday morning #Lukashenko again called Putin (no information on the topic)

     If we listen to Russian government’s stance that Wagner are forgiven and everything is OK, I find it curious how many posts are about damage from Wagner

     Damaged more than 10,000 km of roads near #Rostov https://t.me/rian_ru/206964

     20 houses damaged near #Voronezh https://t.me/rian_ru/206981

     And airplane ticket prices going back to normal after a “spike” https://t.me/rian_ru/206970

     What’s strange is that while #Rostov was apparently evacuated almost immediately, #Voronezh still had Wagner troops in it and they were in the process of leaving as of 4 am EDT

     RIA Novosti is also announcing that bus and transport schedules are back to normal across #Kaluga, #Lipetsk, #Voronezh Oblasts / regions https://t.me/rian_ru/206961

     Then a few hours later same for #Rostov https://t.me/rian_ru/206967

     Don’t see any messages that #Moscow is fully back to normal. They still have a “holiday” tomorrow https://t.me/rian_ru/206987

     So if Russian outlets aren’t really talking about what’s happening with Prigozhin anymore, what are they talking about? (Still in relation to the coup)

     Let’s look at the Telegram channel for Russia’s main “news” / propaganda network, RIA Novosti.

     First, we see a video from #Rostov asserting that everything is “calm” https://t.me/rian_ru/206958

     So #Prigozhin’s Telegram press account has been completely silent since he announced retreat at 11:23 am mountain time (US) on June 24.

     And then there are so few updates about him anywhere. The only message I see is:

     “He says hello to everyone and will answer questions when he is on normal communication,” as told to a Russian journalist

     The situation with roads near #Moscow is very confusing.

     Russian transportation authorities first announced that all movement limitation were removed... and then a couple hours later that they were still active. https://t.me/meduzalive/86652

     As of 5:43 am EDT - the entrance to one of Moscow's bridges was still blocked off https://t.me/meduzalive/86675

     Now let's see if other channels or independent news from Russia covered any details mainstream propaganda may have omitted. I'll start with Meduza

     When authorities raided Prigozhin's office in #StPetersburg they apparently found solid gold bars and fake passports in Prigozhin's name. But shortly after - all mentions of the raid were removed
