The leader of the Russian private mercenary group Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, believes that Russian forces have killed several of the soldiers in Wagner. The details of the alleged attack are not yet known. He points towards the Russian government and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, reports AFP on Friday evening. – The council of the mercenary group Wagner has made a decision – the evil brought by the country’s military leadership must be stopped, says Yevgeny Prigozhin in a speech, according to the news agency. He urges the Russians to calm down. Prigozhin promises to “stop” the Russian army and asks Russians not to resist his forces. He says this is a “March for justice”. Defense Minister Sergej Shojgu.

They say it “does not correspond to reality”, and call it an attempt to provoke. – The Russian armed forces continue to carry out combat missions in Ukraine, the ministry adds. Prigozhin’s private army has been fighting on the Russian side in Ukraine since the invasion last February and was, among other things, central to the battles for the city of Bakhmut. It also competes with the defense leadership for credit for progress in Ukraine. At the same time, Prigozhin is an old friend of Putin.
