Armed Rebellion Prigogine and Wagner PEC: What is known about events in Russia (video)
Over the last two days, the events have developed rapidly and is now talking about the open armed confrontation of Russian troops and "Wagnerians" in Russia. Focus gathered details about how an armed rebellion in the Russian Federation is gaining momentum.
The conflict between the Wagner PEC, or more precisely its curator Yevgeny Prigogin and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, originates from February this year, when mercenaries who are fighting in Bakhmut began to complain about an acute shortage of ammunition. The case came to the point that Prigogine later stated that his fighters would leave a busy position in Bakhmut if his demands for giving ammunition would not be fulfilled.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation threatened that such outbursts of "Putin" will cause him to be declared a traitor to the Motherland. After the Wagner Fighters left Bakhmut, the noise around the "projectile famine" seemed subsided, although Prigogine still kept the information space in the tone, publishing certain unattractive statements in the media to Russian military officials.
After a while, Shoigu made his move - in early June, the Defense Ministry ordered that all the so -called "volunteers" that are part of the "volunteer formations", which are actually PEC "Wagner", signed contracts with the country's defense agency by July 1, on July 1, on July 1 that Prigogine answered a categorical refusal.
And on June 23 he stated that Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Valery Gerasimov should be responsible for the lost territories in Ukraine, "the murder of Russian citizens and the genocide of" the Russian people. On the evening of June 23, Prigogine published an audio recording stating that the Council of Commanders of PEC "Wagner" made a decision to rebel against the military leadership of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
To the past sins of the Russian warlords, he added enormous losses among the personnel of the Russian troops. "Those who have destroyed our boys today who destroyed tens of thousands of our soldiers will be punished. I ask anyone to resist," the curator of mercenaries threatened. At the same time, he added that Shoigu, who was allegedly in Rostov-on-Don at this time, fled, ordered to raise helicopters into the sky and strike the air strike at the place of deployment of PVC fighters.
On the night of June 24, Prigogine, accompanied by their soldiers with armored vehicles and tanks, entered Rostov-on-Don and almost immediately took control of the main military institutions in the city-they surrounded the headquarters of the Southern Military District, the police department at Budyonovsky, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Rostovskaya region, building of the regional UFSB, as well as the city administration.
Talking to Rostov with the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Yunus-Beck Yevkurov, Prigogine sent his fighters towards Voronezh. Over time, it became known that the "Wagnerivtsi" without any resistance from Russian security forces took control of key objects in Voronezh, although at the same time the governor of the region Alexander Gusev reported that he was "taking all necessary measures" with the security forces.
There was also information that the "Wagner" column headed towards Moscow, where the authorities had already announced the CTO (counter -terrorist operation). However, the mercenaries are probably faced with Rosgvardia's units or the Defense Ministry's troops, as Roszmi reported a fighting under Voronezh. In addition, there was a video of a burning plane in the sky, which was allegedly lined up by the rebels. At noon, on June 24, information about a fire in Voronezh and aircraft was received.
It was reported that the helicopter was inflicted on the oil depot. The explosion at the object was terrified by the locals who managed to lift the moment of the strike. "The PCS of the Russian Federation was worked out by the oil depots to deprive Wagner's grouping in Voronezh for moving equipment," the press service of Prigogine reads. At the same time, an explosion at the headquarters of the Southern Military District, after which began in the city, stars in Rostov.
In the event of the happening, in his address to the Russians, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the actions of the Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigogin were a betrayal of the Motherland in wartime, while the actions of the Kremlin's PEC "Wagner" was classified as an armed rebellion.
