Inside Treachery" In Russia
Timeline Of Occasions That Unfurled In 24 Hours
Prigozhin discharged a video on Friday, venturing up his fight with Russia's military best brass and for the primary time dismissing Moscow's center defenses for attacking Ukraine.
In a dramatic turn of events, Russian mercenary fighters associated with the private army known as Wagner have launched a surprising and swift advance towards Moscow, after seizing a southern city overnight. Despite Russia's military attempting to halt their progress by launching air strikes, the mercenary fighters continue to push forward, seemingly unstoppable.
The escalating conflict took a significant twist when Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Wagner, released a video in which he intensified his feud with Russia's military top brass. For the first time, Prigozhin openly rejected President Vladimir Putin's primary justifications for the invasion of Ukraine. In subsequent audio recordings posted on Telegram, Prigozhin denounced the "evil" within Russia's military leadership and called for action to "stop" them. He declared that the Wagner mercenary force would lead a "march for justice" against the Russian military.
In response to Prigozhin's statements, Russia's FSB security service launched a criminal case against him, accusing him of inciting armed mutiny. This development highlights the severity of the rift between Wagner and the Russian government.
Attempting to defuse the situation, General Sergei Surovikin, the deputy commander of Russia's campaign in Ukraine, called upon the Wagner militia to abandon their opposition to the military leadership and return to their bases. However, it remains to be seen whether this plea will have any impact on the mutinous mercenaries.
As the situation rapidly unfolds, the fate of Moscow hangs in the balance, with the rogue mercenary fighters posing an unprecedented threat to the Russian capital. The nation braces itself for further escalations and anxiously awaits developments in this tense and rapidly evolving crisis.
