IF these reports are true -- and we all have reason to suspect all such "news" from any war zone -- then this purported 'civil war' will be a bellwether event to show the world just how weak or strong Russia is. Fighting a war in Ukraine AND a civil war at home would be a clear indicator if Russia has the military might they claim to have.
On a more somber note, the Russians are a LOT less forgiving for traitors in their midst than the West is. We just jail them after a trial. The Russians will probably summarily execute any they capture, on the spot. Review the actions the Soviet Union took against Germans at the end of WWII ... massive rapes, pillaging, and murder.
