But the coming days and weeks consequences outside of Russia will probably become apparent, no matter the outcome (pretty sure that there will be one asshole less to worry about, not sure which one) and not only in #ukraine. #belarus#moldova#georgia#kazakhstan#syria and all the African countries where Wagner is involved come to mind, did I miss anything?
