Even Nature itself turned against the Russians:
Occupiers drop a chemical projectile on Ukrainian positions, with wind in their faces
Russian invasion forces dropped a chemical projectile on Ukrainian soldiers but with the wind blowing the chemicals back at them, a military spokesperson for the army in the Tauride sector, Valeriy Shershen, said on national television on June 25.www.yahoo.com
Well, they were probably ordered to do it by someone in Moscow, where the wind was probably favourable.That's more like basic inability to read the wind. Shoot a smoke round first, ya numpties.
Hmmm...based on this speech by Putin, I'm guessing most Wagnerites will relo to Belarus:
Let's now hear a bit more from Russian President Vladimir Putin's address on state TV.
Putin thanked the nation for unity, adding that all necessary decisions to neutralise threat were taken at the very beginning, and "the mutiny would have been suppressed anyway, organisers realised their actions were criminal".
Putin told Russians those who staged the "mutiny" wanted Russia to lose "and our society to drown in blood, but they miscalculated".
He went on to thank all security services "who stayed loyal to their oath" as well as pilots who died.
He added that steps were taken to avoid major bloodshed, "but it took time".
"I thank Wagner soldiers and commanders who did not shed blood - you can sign a contract with the Ministry of Defence, or move to Belarus," he said.

"Moscow Bob" has declared that Putin's position has not been weakened by the Wagner revolt...which, of course, means that it was:
Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists he doesn't agree that Putin is in a weakened position, and mocked the "ultra-emotional tantrums among political scientists and pseudo-political scientists" speculating on the stability of the Russian president's authority following the mutiny.
I prefer Moscow Misha…
