The war Russia – Ukraine has no respite But in what seemed to be a ‘battle’ between two countries, an internal rebellion has been sparked. The owner of the military contractor wagner group launched a call for an armed rebellion to overthrow the Russian Defense Minister.
Is about Yevgeny Prigozhinwho launched his most direct challenge to the Kremlin on Friday, launched a call for an armed rebellion to overthrow the Russian defense minister, after accusing him of “treacherously” misleading them.
The National Anti-Terrorism Committee, part of the Federal Security Service (FSB for its acronym in Russian), said it had opened a criminal investigation on charges of calling for an armed rebellion.
The FSB asked the soldiers of the Wagner Group to arrest Prigozhin and to refuse to follow their “criminal and treacherous orders.” He called his statements a “stab in the back to Russian troops” and said they amounted to fomenting armed conflict in Russia.
In this context, the Kremlin has strengthened security in Moscow and Rostov-on-Don, where the headquarters for the southern region of Russia are located, which also supervise the fighting in Ukraine.
Prigozhin added that his forces “are not fighting children… but we will destroy anyone who gets in our way.” “We are advancing and we will go to the end,” he said.
The chief of the General Staff, General Valery Gerasimov, sent warplanes to attack Wagner’s convoys, which were traveling alongside civilian vehicles.
The troops of the Wagner Group had played a crucial role in the war in the Ukraine, managing to capture Bajmut, the city where the bloodiest and longest battles were fought. Prigozhin has repeatedly criticized Russia’s military leadership, accusing it of being incompetent and depriving its troops of arms and ammunition, but with his accusations and calls for an armed rebellion on Friday, it appears to have gone too far.
