Holy SHIT, Eliot!!
From Mother Jones link:
A Russian oligarch? A businessman is commanding mercenary troops in Syria?
In intercepted communications in late January, the oligarch, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, told a senior Syrian official that he had secured permission from an unspecified Russian minister to move forward with a fast and strong initiative that would take place in early February
.Among his various enterprises, U.S. intelligence believes that Prigozhin also almost certainly controls Russian mercenaries fighting in Syria on behalf of President Bashar al-Assad.
.The attack marked the biggest direct challenge to the U.S. military presence in eastern Syria since U.S. Special Operations forces began deploying there in 2015
.A senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity about the sensitive issue, described the episode as worrisome. The official added that its striking how the Russians themselves have been quick to distance themselves from what he described as an operation under Syrian command and in response to Syrian directive.

Communications intercepted in January now provide some clues by demonstrating that Prigozhin had told a senior Syrian official that he had permission from a Russian minister to move fast and strong with the operation that led to the mercenaries death, The Washington Post reported Thursday evening. The communications show that he both knew about the planned attack and shared information with Syrian leadership.
Prigozhin is known to have close ties with Putin, and it is unlikely that he works without the permission of Russias most powerful man.
The mercenaries involved in the attack work for a company called Wagner, which employs Russian nationals and military veteransmany of whom are believed to have fought in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Wagner also provides foot soldiers who help fight ISIS in order to secure access to oil and gas fields that Prigozhin profits from.

In another of the clips, a man claims there are about 215 fucking killed on the Russian side.
It has been reported that up to 300 Russians may have died in the strikes. The Kremlin initially denied all reports of Russians being involved in the incident. However, in recent days, Russias foreign ministry has acknowledged that several dozen Russians were killed or wounded.
A foreign ministry report said, Russian service members did not take part in any capacity and Russian military equipment was not used. It said those involved were Russian citizens who were in Syria of their own free will and for different reasons.
