If I was them, I would team up with Ukraine right now. Suddenly you have the bigger army and the Russian forces are trapped behind their own fortifications in enemy territory.

Yeah I don't think Ukraine is going to go for that, hasn't Wagner been torturing Ukrainians?

Graphically torturing and posting. Fuck Wagner. I hope he makes it to Moscow and Putin nukes his own capital out of fear, accidentally tripping and falling out of a 20th story window onto a bed of spikes in the process. The whole lot can fuck right off.

If Prigozshin "wins" and takes over Russia I hope they invite him to a state dinner in the Netherlands so that we don't have to spend much money to arrest him and take him to the Hague.

I think the limit of Ukrainian "cooperation" would be refraining from attacking Wagner forces as they either fight Russian military within Ukraine or withdraw from Ukrainian territory. With the condition that if Wagner isn't doing one of those two things then they're back on the menu.

It'd be nice to capture everyone, investigate them all to find the ones who've done warcrimes, and prosecute them in an orderly manner. But if plan B is "they retreat from Ukrainian territory in chaos and go fight Russians on Russian territory" I think it'd be great to let them do that. Fewer Ukrainian deaths going forward from that.
