They have indeed. They've acted as Putin's private army for years but things have been going sour for a bit. Some Wagner positions have been bombed by Russia. Wagner have fought in some very bloody battlegrounds elsewhere. They're hardened. And they marched on Friday evening, when many Russian soldiers/officers are busy drinking. The next few days will be very, very interesting.
Quite a few RU soldiers have joined Wagner, or at least, aren't stopping them. One of the regiments drawn from RU prisons have stated they'll fight for Wagner. Apparently Prigozhin has been readying things for a few months. Numbers will depend on who people decide to side with. But given Prigozhin is the reason for any RU movement in Ukraine...well...

They ALMOST got to Zads, then beaten back, and now they're well on the way to Moscow.

Sorry for so much war talk. This is massive though, as no matter the outcome, this will impact Zads and Ukraine (and Belarus!).
To bring The Zads back in, I saw this:
