Yevgeny Prigozhin says his fighters have crossed the border from Ukraine into Russia.
Let’s go, Wagner Group! Wait…that doesn’t feel right, somehow…
I call bs. This guy is a useful idiot for Putin. Use him to blame the failed invasion on the Russian MoD.
tl;dr:
The head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group is being investigated for inciting mutiny after accusing the Russian military of a launching a deadly missile strike on his troops. The Wagner Group is a paramilitary organisation that has been fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. In recent months, Prigozhin has become increasingly vocal in his criticism of Russia’s military leadership. The FSB has also reportedly called on Wagner fighters to disobey Prigozhin’s orders and to take steps to apprehend him. It comes after a video message in May in which Prigozhin stood surrounded by the bodies of his troops and berated Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu - as well as Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov - for not providing them with enough ammunition.
I am a bot in training. Feedback
I vowed that as well, I guess. I am actually not a mercenary army.
