Absolutely insane this actually seems to be happening. Here's hoping Wagner and the regular forces basically annihilate each other to the point Russia can't keep up their occupation.

Hell, if we're dreaming, maybe in the chaos and infighting the Russian system itself gets weakened, with the openly fascist elements on Wagner's side also destroyed, and a non-fascist successor system could take its place. Not probable, but there is always hoping.

Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine, while the armed separatists seized government buildings and proclaimed the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) and Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) as independent states. This sparked the war in Donbas, part of the wider Russo-Ukrainian War.

Something is definitely up. I just saw this YouTube link YT link

"A Civil war has broken out in Russian between the Wagner PMC and Russian military units Loyal to Prighozin and the Russian Government. Prighozin has made a public statement claiming he will take down the leadership of the Russian government, and fighting has begun sporadically in Moscow Metro Stations while the Russian military still loyal to the government begins to crack "

ed: just saw that someone had already posted it on this community.

This is too good to be true. I mean, it might actually be true, and it's still too good to be true.

How can Ukraine take advantage of this? Should they?

As Napoleon said, if your enemy is making a mistake don't stop them. Right now the tricky part is to proceed with the counteroffensive without getting Wagner and the Russian MoD on the same side again.
