Yevgeny Prigozhin, the owner of the Russian mercenary Wagner Group, has announced that he intends to “restore justice” in the army. Armored vehicles have appeared on the streets of Rostov-on-Don and on the entry routes to Moscow, according to the Russian branch of BBC News.
The Wagnerians crossed the border and entered Rostov-on-Don.
The owner of the Russian mercenary Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said on Friday that troops of the Russian regular army attacked a mercenary camp causing numerous casualties. He announced that he intended to “restore justice” in the army and called for no opposition.
The independent portal 161.ru reported the announcement of the “Fortress” plan, i.e. protecting the facilities of the Ministry of the Interior. The exact actions of the Ministry’s employees under this plan are a state secret, but it is widely known that the entrances and exits to the Ministry of the Interior building are blocked.
“There is an order to bring the entire Ministry of External Affairs and the Russian Guard to combat readiness and to strengthen checkpoints on the border with the annexed LPR and DPR,” the portal wrote.
Military vehicles were observed 430 km from the Ukrainian border, in Smolensk.
“We have now crossed national borders. The border guards came out to meet our fighters and hugged them. Now we are entering Rostov. The units of the Ministry of Defense, or rather the conscripts who were supposed to block our path, moved aside.”
Prigozhin said.
“We don’t fight children, we don’t kill children! Shoigu kills children by sending untrained soldiers, including conscripts, to war. He pitted 18-year-old boys against us, they are all like children and grandchildren to us. So these guys will survive and go back to their mothers– announced the head of the Wagnerians.
He stressed that his men would only fight a professional army. “But if anyone gets in our way, we will destroy everything. We go on, we go to the end,” announced Prigozhin.
