He has given a series of talks about the war, focusing on his criticism of Mr Shoigu. Prigozhin has been highly visible in Russia’s regions over the past few weeks since withdrawing from the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine where his forces captured the town of Bakhmut. Russia has lost an estimated 220,000 men in the war. He said that he wanted to avenge the ordinary Russian soldiers who have been killed by incompetent leadership since the start of the invasion of Ukraine last February. Prigozhin is a fierce critic of Mr Shoigu, Russia’s defence minister, and Valery Gerasimov, the head of the military. While Prighozin was careful to say he was not launching a coup against Putin, without control of the armed forces the Russian leader would be profoundly weakened and at risk of being deposed. News reports also said that an emergency plan called “krepost”, or fortress, had deployed Russian soldiers around the capital and to strategic locations. You can’t play into the hands of the enemy in these difficult times for our country.” “The enemy is just waiting for the internal political situation in our country to deteriorate. “We fought together, took risks, suffered losses and won together. “Together we have been on a difficult path,” Gen Surovikin said. General Sergei Surovikin, the deputy head of the armed forces in Ukraine, called on Prigohzin to “stop the convoys and return them to their bases”. Later reports said that Putin’s motorcade was seen speeding through Moscow to the Kremlin from his residence in the suburbs of the capital. In the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman, said that the Russian leader was aware of “the situation around Prigozhin”. In a later update, he added: “There are 25,000 of us and we are going to figure out what this chaos is happening in the country. Our actions do not interfere with the troops in any way.” “This is not a military coup, but a march of justice. “Presidential power, the government, the police and Russian guard will work as usual. That goes for any checkpoints and aviation on our way. Anyone who does will be considered a threat and destroyed. “The evil that the country’s military leadership perpetuates must be stopped. In his Telegram audio message calling for an overthrow of Russian military leaders, Prighozin said: “The commanders’ council of the Wagner Private Military Company has reached a decision. It also called on Wagner group members to ignore Prighozin and arrest him if they could. The FSB added: “This is punishable with between 12 and 20 years in prison.” The case accuses Prigozhin of launching an “armed rebellion inside Russia”. The FSB, Russia’s main intelligence service, said that it had opened a criminal case against Prigozhin, once considered one of Vladimir Putin’s most trusted fixers, and declared him to be a “foreign agent”. Troops have been photographed detaining people in s Declared a ‘foreign agent’ by Moscow Prigozhin claimed to have taken control of Rostov, including all military establishments and the airport, and he said dozens of Russian solders had joined his coup. He later claimed his troops had shot down a Russian military helicopter after it opened fire on civilians in Rostov, though again he did not offer evidence of this claim. But we will destroy everything that gets in the way.” These guys will live and go back to their mothers. “The border guards came out to meet and hugged our fighters. “We crossed the state border in all places,” Prigozhin said. In an audio message late on Friday night, Prigozhin said his troops were entering Rostov, a large city in the south of Russia that the Russian top military command have been using as their base. He accused Russian generals of carrying out on air strike on his fighters in Ukraine and said a “huge number” had been killed, without providing evidence. Russian soldiers across the country have been put on high alert as Prigozhin’s forces march towards Moscow. Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the mercenary Wagner group, has launched a coup against Russian military leaders, saying he has 25,000 fighters ready to “end this mess”.
