Armed rebellion in Russia – the main thing

On the night of June 24, 2023, Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin ordered his mercenaries to begin an assault on military facilities of the Russian Armed Forces. This was preceded by the accusation of Prigozhin of launching a missile strike by the Russian Ministry of Defense on the rear camp of his “private army”, as a result of which many thugs allegedly died. 

Clashes between Russians took place in the Rostov and Voronezh regions, as a result of which the Russian Armed Forces lost an Il-22 aircraft, two helicopters designed for electronic warfare, one Mi-35 helicopter, a Tiger combat vehicle and a military KamAZ. The aircraft was destroyed, and the cars were captured.

Putin called the recent events inside Russia “betrayal” and “a knife in the back” , alluding to his “cook” Prigogine.
