RuAF KA-52 coming under attack from Wagner (somewhere in Russia)

If Wagner in fact ends up fighting with just Russian ground assets against Russia's best air assets, they are likely to have a bad time. All the more reason that they have to end this by reaching Moscow, fast.

Save scummer.

That's the guy who's own father was killed by Russians while his country was being decimated... unbelievable

Wagner in Rostov alongside Russian troops without a shot fired. After moving from their holding positions unmolested by Ukrainian missile attacks which surely US sattalite intelligence was aware of...

You don't shoot at the other side when they suddenly turn away from the front. You let them go, and figure out what they're doing. No sense jeopardizing a shot at reaching the conference table with spiteful parting shots.

Just laughing at Putin being out-gangstered by Prigozhin

This is hysterical.

This is the commander of a Ukrainian drone unit that fought against Prigozhin's forces in Bakhmut and Soledar and lost men there. He's now watching those same Russians turn against their country in armed rebellion. No wonder Ukrainian troops are loving this

Long way to go, yet. Putin's position on the board is poor, but he's the better player. He hasn't held on that long by accident.

Looking at a map, all Putin has to do is drop a few bridges into the Oka River to stymie Prigozhin for a good bit. That river is very inconveniently placed, for an advance from the south. The more I look at it, the more I think Putin has this one so long as he can get Russians to fire upon Russians. An inability to produce that result must be what Prigozhin is counting on.

So far there are no much reports about ground battles, seems that National Guard and conscripts just watched while Wagner columns were passing. Only some air strikes.

He also took over military facilities in Rostov peacefully this morning and said he wont interfere with usual military work thats organized from there against Ukraine. So far its going smooth for Prigozhin.

Right, if things stay the way they are Prigozhin wins. The big questions on the table are whether Putin's ground forces near Moscow will fight, and how much he can scramble into position. @PhilM is correct to assert that the garrisons in between have probably been picked clean to the bone, so how much Putin can delay matters a great deal. It also explains why there have not been shots fired so far.
