Wagner reportably entered Lipetsk Oblast
First Deputy Chief of GRU Vladimir Alekseyev sat down on the same chair as Surovikin and addressed the commanders and fighters of the Wagner PMC.
You are not putting these people on camera if nothing is happening.

Wagner affiliated channel: "All the generals who, with trembling hands, appeal to Wagner to stop, have actually signed their own sentence. There will be a tribunal. Surovikin will answer for the surrender of Kherson"

Girkin now seemingly pointing out that Prigozhin has de-facto won:

I have to admit with great bitterness that the Russian Federation is one step closer to its final and irrevocable demise.
As of today, the Russian Federation has two presidents - the real president, Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin, and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the acting president to serve his term. The main purpose of the acting president is to periodically address the real president, kneeling down, with the question: "What do you want, Yevgeny Viktorovich?"
Never, even in my worst nightmare, I couldn't imagine that I would see this shame and destruction of my country.
If i were a russian soldier i would be looking to get the fuck out of Ukraine right now. I can smell a mass desertion coming!
This is absolutely insane! Couldnt happen to a more deserving country

I'm thirsty for Ukraine military gains. I imagine causing more pressure and chaos would work in their favor
Three hour analysis livestream from Vlad Vexler, started when the situation began to escalate. Not a live news thing, but an analysis from his perspective as it manifested.
A Rostov-based telegram channel has shared this footage claiming that it was shot in the vicinity of Rostov-on-Don this morning

FSB offices are being evacuated in Voronezh and Lipetsk regions. They are on Prigozhin's path to Moscow from Rostov.

Maybe some kind of fake operation to get Ukraine to launch it's main counteroffensive early? I just can't believe any type of coup would hold water
Any info on the fighting in Volgograd?
Video purporting to show gunfire near Voronezh [NB: on the road north from Rostov to Moscow]

So the press release by Lukashenko might be smoke and mirrors or a genuine misunderstanding
EDIT: Might well be bullshit, BBC currently reporting Prigozhin has confirmed a deal has taken place
EDIT2: Now also more clearly confirmed with quote by Prigozhin - https://nitter.nl/maxseddon/status/1672657882117013504
Right now the moment has come when blood could be spilled. Therefore, understanding all the responsibility for the fact that Russian blood will be spilled on one side, we are turning our convoy around and going back to our basecamps, according to the plan.
Does someone have a link to Prigozhin's actual outlets? All of this is pretty indirect and suspect as a result. (In the age of deepfakes, a recording means little with no provenance)
Edit: BBC is now repeating this.
His official press service on Telegram ("Press service of Prigozhin"): https://t.me/s/concordgroup_official
Wagner PMC leader Prigozhin claims in a new post that "Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov gave the command to open fire from aircraft on Wagner columns mixed with civilian vehicles. The pilots refused to follow the order"

FSB Border Guards were ordered to allow the Wagner PMC columns through from Ukraine at the border check point in Rostov region, Russia. Prigozhin appears to have planned the coup meticulously and secured many allies at high places within the Kremlin regime.
