For reference:
On the evening of June 23, Prigozhin, the head of Wagner Private Military Company, said that the Russian army attacked the rear positions of Wagner troops, resulting in "a huge number of soldiers" dying. In response, he announced a "campaign" to Rostov-on-Don to "deal with lawlessness in the army" and Shoigu [the Russian defense minister – ed.].
After 02:00, Prigozhin announced that his troops had already crossed the state borders and were now moving through the Rostov region. He added that his forces allegedly "were warmly welcomed at the checkpoints."
At 7 a.m., Prigozhin announced that in Rostov, some soldiers of the Russian Guard and the police had allegedly gone over to his side. Some clashes with the Russian army took place.
After that, a video appeared showing the Wagner mercenaries entering the headquarters building of the Southern Military District. It also indicates Prigozhin demanding that an official military hand over Gerasimov [ the head of Russia's general Staff – ed.] and Shoigu. Otherwise, Wagner mercenaries will block Rostov and allegedly go to Moscow.
In another video, Prigozhin stated that Wagner PMC captured all military facilities in the city, including the airfield.
In Moscow, Voronezh, and Rostov-on-Don, the Federal Security Service of Russia, the Russian Guard, and the police were alerted after midnight, and the "Fortress" plan was introduced in the cities. Its essence is the maximum protection of state authorities and law and order.
According to Mykhailo Podoliak, the adviser to the head of the President's Office, the rebellion of the PMC founder will end in the defeat of one of the parties, as it will no longer be possible to reach an agreement.
There are reports that the Wagner mercenaries have probably occupied another settlement in the Russian Federation. In particular, the village of Krasne in the Lipetsk region.
