Earlier, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation reported that the actions of businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin will be given a proper legal assessment in the framework of the criminal case. The department called it legitimate and justified to initiate a criminal case by the Investigative Department of the FSB of Russia against Prigozhin on “the fact of organizing an armed mutiny.”
Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is aware of the situation that “unfolds around the entrepreneur Yevgeny Prigozhin.” According to him, “all necessary measures are currently being taken.”
Kremlin chatter is currently blaming Kiev and the US for the instigating of the oligarchs actions. Prigozhin has been offered a seat at the WEF in the recent past.
The enemy is just waiting for our internal political situation to escalate. You cannot play into the hands of the enemy in this difficult time for the country. Before it is too late, it is necessary and necessary to obey the will and order of the popularly elected President of the Russian Federation. Stop the columns. Return them to their permanent locations and areas of deployment. Solve all problems only by peaceful means under the leadership of the Supreme Commander — in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, “
Colonel-General Sergei Surovikin, deputy commander of the United Group of Forces (UGA), called on the fighters of the Wagner PMC to refrain from actions that could play into the hands of the enemy. His appeal was published in the Telegram channel of military correspondent Andrey Rudenko.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the Ukrainian authorities, taking advantage of Prigozhin’s provocation “to disorganize the situation,” began to focus units of the 35th Marine Brigade and 36th mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Bakhmut tactical direction at the initial lines for offensive operations. The ministry added that the soldiers of the Southern Group of Forces defeat the enemy with air and artillery strikes.
A number of media outlets suggested that the voice on the audio recording is only similar to the voice of Yevgeny Prigozhin but not him, forged or generated using artificial intelligence. According to TCO Intelligence monitoring systems, Prigozhin was in St. Petersburg at the time of the events.
