I don't think this is a stunt. I think Wagner got a head too large and something put them in place. Atleast for now.

Wagner doesn't have air power and not much for air defenses.

FIRMS is showing a lot of fires in Lipetsk right now.

Could be coincidence, but it's possible Wagner got bombed to shit.

What? Nothing was stopping them. They steam rolled.right into Moscow region and onto the doorstep of the city proper. As it is,bits unclear how much resistance they would have faced.
