Recent footage that lacks serious context has been published to multiple social media platforms showing an unknown military convoy moving in an unknown direction along the Novo Ryazan Highway.

The reality of the situation we are facing right now with people being so hungry for information about the on-going situation in Russia is that a video like this is getting massive coverage. It shows absolutely nothing and has serious conflicting information attached to it from every side of the information war.

Some individuals claim that this video shows the Russian Military moving South from Moscow to confront Wagner Forces, others state that this is a Wagner convoy moving towards Moscow unopposed by the Russian military.

The reality of the situation is, no one knows. This is, simply put, a video of Russian military equipment moving inside of Russia that could or could not have been originally recorded today. It could be occupied by Wagner troops, it could be occupied by the Russian National Guard. There is honestly no way to independently verify the information, and anyone who tells you they have a concrete answer is lying through their teeth unless they know the guys driving the vehicles personally.

Be wary of the information you consume right now. There are a lot of people speaking out of their food waste disposal orifice, making up whatever headlines and information that they want to gain your attention in a world that is fully built on an attention-based economy. The loudest of these people are often found on Twitter, and tweet about Ukraine and Russia only when Ukraine and Russia are the top trending topics at the current time.
