   If Putin needs advice on how to stop an armed column advancing on his capital, he could ask the Ukrainians.

     @Vordus "Vostok" doesn't seem to be a very helpful name, as it just means "East" and could be any one of dozens of suburbs or districts in the country.

     en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vostok_(…

     From what I'm reading it seems they've taken Rostov-on-Don, a city close to the border east of the Donbas and which was also a nexus for the buildup last year before the invasion.

     @andrei_chiffa @garius the horrible mercenary group full of prisoners that Russia has been repeatedly sending to die in Ukraine has decided they've had enough and have captured the city of Vostok. Their leader has claimed the war was purely to glorify the Minister of Defense, and has vowed to march on Moscow next.
