Wagner and its founder Yevgeny Prigozhin say camp was attacked by Russian MOD. However, Russia denies this.

@Bellingcat
#Moscow sure seems to view this as a #coup.

"The statements of Yevgeny
#Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner PMC, became the basis for a criminal case on the call for armed insurrection."

That's true, but the reactions from #Moscow are there and they were swift:

"A lot of things are being thrown around here and there about things happening in Russia but I have so far not seen a single photo or video evidence of anything, only text and audio messages."

Good Morning to an even more crazy situation in #Russia: There are now ridiculous videos coming from #Rostov, where #Wagner claims to have taken control.

From the BBC:

"Yevgeny
#Prigozhin’s declared move against the Russian military leadership is "almost certainly an attempted #coup", the former US Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor has told the BBC.

“This is serious for
#Putin. The Russians are taking this very seriously, and it sounds like they should.”

But Taylor, who was in
#Ukraine last month, says the #Wagner boss is unlikely to succeed.

“The ministry of defence forces have the equipment, have the aircraft, have the tanks – they have the military equipment in numbers – to put down Prigozhin's forces," he says.

But the Russian infighting could potentially help Ukraine in its fight to defeat Russia's invasion, Taylor said.

"If the Russians are now worried about their chain of command, then the Russians that are supposed to be fighting the Ukrainians may be distracted and may even run.""

They clearly don’t want to fight him and he has now made his point and also lowering the aggressiveness of his Töne."

It seems the mystery of how the fuel depot went up in #Voronezh is solved- a Wagner operated Strela-10 fired on a VKS Ka-52, but the likely 9M37-series missile missed and hit the depot. Explains why the Ka-52 wasn't seen firing rockets, just dropping flares.

In the meantime #Prigozhin has answered #Putin and declared, that #Wagner will not surrender:

Source:
https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/1672536701997072384

"Regarding the betrayal of the Motherland, the President is deeply mistaken. We’re patriots of our Motherland. We fought and we are fighting, all fighters of PMC Wagner. And no one is going to surrender to the demands of the President, FSB, or anyone else. Because we don’t want the country to live further in corruption lies, and bureaucracy.

When we fought in Africa, we were told that we needed Africa, and then they dumped it, because they stole all the money that was meant to come for help.

When we were told we are fighting with Ukraine, we went and fought. But it turned out that the ammo, weapons, all money put towards this were also being stolen, while officials are sitting and saving them for themselves for an incident that happened today, when someone is going towards Moscow."

Now they are not saving anything, they are striking us with planes and helicopters at the columns with civilians. And they hit civilians because they’re missing. And they hit anywhere they can.

Thus, we are the patriots, but those resisting us today are those who gathered around scumbags."

"As well as underestimating Ukrainian strength, #Putin — drunk on the mythology of the Red Army of the 1940s — fatally overestimated #Russia’s own military power. The failure of the Russian army opened the door for the #Wagner group to enter the war. This gave #Prigozhin his own power base and propaganda platform and ultimately allowed him to turn on the Russian state."

President Zelenskyy has something to say:

"Everyone who chooses the path of evil destroys himself. Who sends columns of troops to destroy the lives of another country and cannot stop them from fleeing and betraying when life resists. Who terrorizes with missiles, and when they are shot down, humiliates himself to receive Shahed drones. Who despises people and throws hundreds of thousands into the war, in order to eventually barricade himself in the
#Moscow region from those whom he himself armed. For a long time, Russia used propaganda to mask its weakness and the stupidity of its government. And now there is so much chaos that no lie can hide it. And all this is one person, who again and again scares by the year 1917, although he is able to result in nothing else but this.
#Russia's weakness is obvious. Full-scale weakness. And the longer Russia keeps its troops and mercenaries on our land, the more chaos, pain, and problems it will have for itself later. It is also obvious. #Ukraine is able to protect Europe from the spread of Russian evil and chaos.

We keep our resilience, unity and strength.
All our commanders, all our soldiers know what to do."
