    There is a fourth, but he disappears into the road verge and watches on from afar.

    Author of video Valeriy Markus, he is not squad leader, he is in a rank of master-sergeant and he is chief sergeant of 47th brigade. Very ineteresting video, alas, only UKR subs. 
    Some episodes - Markus detained Russian POW. He is convicted. Enlisted from correctional facility in May 2023. Nobody ask their agreement, they just were sent "to dig trenches". They dug trenches near Vasylivka, then were deployed near Tokmak. This guy told "alot of armor and Grads" around Tokmak in fields. To this place, where he was captured they were moved five days ago. He had AK-12 rifle. Markus says to him "nobody will risk to evacuate you now, so the only way for you to survive is that we must kill all your friends in next tree-line. This is a war" 
    In trench Markus is planning tactiacal actions - he ordered to put two MGs on flanks and wants that artillery conduct short, but concentrated and intensive strike on enemy position, then assault group with fast attack wil burst into tranches
    In the night, Markus again plans next assault. He say there need two pairs, which have to silently crawl along tree-line, where Russian trenches and to throw grenades there, when other group will attack from other side. He says he will in this "grenadier group" and ask who are ready to go with him. One soldier answered, that nobody of them didn't do these things, so Markus says "If we don't take in dare rush this positions, we will must withdraw, because enemy artillery will smash us here"
    Looks like he has found volunteers, we are hearing sounds of explosions in the night and next cadre is a group of Markus after the rest in seized trenches. This is about Markus meant in short video where they are slept on corpses of Russians (and this turned out not a joke). Next Markus again plans mopping up the tree-line with two groups, which have to crawl along the plant and seek a trail, leading inside the tree-line, He ordered the sapper to move first and he checks the way in tree-plant with a probe tool. Next by radio we are hearing Russians withdrew to blindage and shooting is starting.
    Next cadres - UKR soldiers comletely captured enemy positions. They say Kadyrov troops were here, but on my opinion there was just regular troops of 42nd division, which mainly consists of Chechens.

    A pretty darn clear view of Strela-10 shooting down drones. I am not 100% certain this isn't part CGI
    Is it possible CM got this wrong? It seems these short-range missile AA systems can shoot down pretty darn small drones.

    I plead guilty to overstating the case. However Prig's little meltdown points out two thing rather strongly. We don't have all that much control over how Russia decides to lose this war, and Russia losing slower will not necessarily lead to the Russians making better decisions than Russia losing quickly. Slower just gives all sorts of bat s%^t crazy, and extremely unpleasant people time to hatch plots where the only thing worse than their failure would be their success. If Ukraine had had the the resources to drive home the success in Kharkiv last fall we would at least have been negotiating with Russian government that everyone, including most importantly the Russians, believed was in control. That assumption is gone, any guesses on how many decades it will take to get it back?

    Prigozhin remains defiant and defends his actions, but reiterates it was not aimed at “top leadership” of country, and walks back more extensive goals for “justice” to simply preserving Wagner:
    EDIT: better summary from Dmitri:
