I am going to be glued to Kbin all day for this. This won't stop the Ukrainian invasion though, will it? It sounded like things will be continuing as they have but under a different leader. There's no real "benefit" to Ukraine in this, is there?
There's no real "benefit" to Ukraine in this, is there?
Well, it appears that some of the baddies will be killing off each other, saving Ukraine the trouble.
The benefit is a distraction on the Russian military side, it may give the counteroffensive from Ukraine a tiny boost. The real impact is probably negligent, it's not going to make any major changes.
Also, FYI: it's not "Ukrainian invasion", Ukraine isn't invading anyone.
It's full-on war between Ukraine and Russia.
The impact on this isn't going to stop the war, only a surrender/peace agreement and full withdrawal of all Russian troops from Ukraine's 1991 borders will end the war.
Russians are used to swapping out regimes and leaderships all the time, so this may not change anything and the war against Ukraine can still continue under a different regime.

Kadyrov's Chechens are being pulled out of Donbas to fortify Rostov.
source : https://twitter.com/Cen4infoRes/status/1672615799620612099
Whose side is Kadyrov on? Or is he his own side?
They're on their own side, they're mercs and loyal to money, just like Wagner. Right now, they're taking Putin's money.
However, as soon as Putin's down or out of money, they'll switch sides easily.
Keep in mind that Chechens were at some point at war with Putin as well and Putin won that one. Kadyrov's an ally of Putin at this point.

I usually read Tim Mak's reporting on Ukraine, and he has his article out about it here: https://open.substack.com/pub/counteroffensive/p/newsflash-russia-wracked-by-rebellion
It lays out the general events well enough, I don't know if he'll keep updating that page specifically. But it was good as an intro to what's happening.
