Interestingly, the terrorist Igor Girkin also confirmed the entry of Wagner PMC into Voronezh “without the resistance of the regular army.”

Military facilities and administrative buildings in the Russian city of Voronezh have come under the control of fighters from the private military company Wagner.

According to  Reuters, citing its sources in the Russian special services, Voronezh suffered the fate of Rostov, which is already under the control of the army of Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Interestingly, the terrorist Igor Girkin also confirmed the entry of Wagner PMC into Voronezh “without the resistance of the regular army.” He announces a civil war, because the capture of Voronezh opens the way for the rebels to Moscow.

Yevgeny Prigozhin started a riot in Russia: what is known

On June 23, the leader of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that the regular Russian army  fired missiles at his PMC fighters thanks to the order of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu  and Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov.

Prigozhin announced that he would take revenge on Shoigu and led his army to Rostov.

British intelligence reported that  the “Wagnerites” went to storm Moscow  and the fate of the rebellion depends on the reaction of the National Guard.

Russian President  Putin addressed the citizens and security forces , calling for the suppression of the rebels.

  1. This does not look good for Putin. Seems a large part of the regular army is changing sides and refuses to follow Putin’s orders.

    • How ironic that Putler could be toppled by a mercenary army, that are illegal according to the russian constitution.

      • Putin and his gang are illegal and need to be removed. Nothing more illegal than ordering the murder of innocent ukrainians, sending young unexperienced ruSSians into death, planting mines in nuclear power plants and blowing up dams to cause an apocalyptic environmental catastrophe.

        • Agreed. I think the irony is that although the mercenary army is illegal, Putin allowed it to flourish because it was run by his “buddy”.
