Mercenaries taking their employers hostage? A tale as old as… well- as long as there’s been mercenaries.

So Russia is attacking its own mercs and the mercs are striking back? Doesn't sound like a very professional army.

There's a saying in Russian, "toad fucks the viper" for that situation. It means that both sides are evil and everything you can do in that situation is sit and enjoy them attacking each other.
