From DailyKos which has multiple daily updates since the Ukraine invasion began

Quote:
At 7PM in Moscow:

Lead elements of the Wagner mercenary force have reportedly reached Moscow Oblast and are continuing toward the city.
Bridges along the M4 highway have reportedly been blown to slow the mercenary army.
Putin’s plane has reportedly left Moscow and headed for his massive residence at Valday, about halfway between Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov has reportedly left the country for Turkey.
Fuel tanks around the city of Voronezh are burning after the Russian military bombed them to keep them out of Wagner’s hands.
Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has reportedly taken up residence in the former HQ of the Russian Southern Military Command at Rostov.
There are reports of Russian military forces departing Ukraine in an effort to stop Wagner, along with rumors that some of those forces intend to join Wagner.
It’s been less than 24 hours since Wagner leader Prigozhin indicated he would take his forces into Russia, and about 18 hours since the Kremlin responded with a call for a “criminal investigation.” All that now seems ridiculously dated. Events in Russia are moving fast.
