-> Prigozhin claims russian military hit Wagner camp
-> in an audio recording, says his men are marching to the MoD and will attack anyone that stands in their way
-> MoD denies the accusations
-> FSB (security service) puts warrants for Prigozhin’s arrest, the charge being inciting a coup.
Sputnik News article: https://sputnikglobe.com/20230623/russian-ministry-of-defense-denies-media-reports-of-strikes-on-wagner-positions-1111429344.html but if you click on the twitter link you can like our tweet uwu
The tense relationship between Wagner PMC and the Russian MoD (particularly given Defense Minister Shoigu’s cozy relationship with Wagner competitor Patriot PMC) continues to be a thorn in the side of this campaign from the perspective of any intellectually-honest observer.
It was a mistake to allow mercenary groups and their accompanying corruption to thrive in the Russian Federation.
Prigozhin’s TG was hacked, Russian MoD confirmed this.The charge for against Prigozhin instigating a coup appears to be correct, TASS has verified this.
A largescale disinfo campaign is underway throughout TG.
When I learn anything else solid I will update.
UPDATE: I was mistaken, the Russian MoD is not saying Prigozhin’s account was hacked, but that the information being displayed on it when referring to the video and audio messages accusing the Russian Forces of attacking Wagner, are fake. They have not confirmed that Prigozhin has been hacked, there was a translation error.
UPDATE #2: https://www.rt.com/russia/578553-prigozhin-armed-insurrection-updates/ https://www.rt.com/russia/578547-prigozhin-fsb-armed-rebellion/ https://www.rt.com/russia/578550-russian-general-message-wagner/ https://www.rt.com/russia/578544-mod-wagner-statement/ RT is state-owned. This is from the horse’s mouth
UPDATE #3 FINAL: Putin gave an emergency speech just now, in it he stated Prigozhin is a traitor and will be held accountable, that Russian troops and anti-terrorist mechanisms have been given their orders, and that Rostov will be decisively resolved. We will see how many Wagner remain loyal and how far this goes…
Be careful about bullshit. As with any breaking event in progress, there’s going to be a lot. I personally urge to wait and see what comes out of it and remain on the initial facts in the OP, which were confirmed on sputnik news.
Thank god, he’s so annoying
Allegedly the root of the issue is a conflict over catering for the Army, and related income.
Edit: Then there is a fairly informative 29+ min video by the man himself, giving his reasons. It is available only in Russian as far as I am aware.
This sounds like either some blackop where Prigozhin is involved, he selling out, or something, it would make no sense for Russia to attack Wagner and I hope that Wanger’s soldiers stay put and act accordingly.
The video showing the supposed shelled Wagner base looks super fake and I don’t think that happened, but I don’t think this whole thing is fake like people on TG say
What do you mean by the whole thing? I just hope this doesn’t fuck Russia too much.
The whole thing as in there is something happening, just not the Russian army shelling Wagner forces. That part seems fake, but not Wagner doing something and the government reacting. Because people unironically believe all of it is a psyop. The messages by TASS, Peskov, FSB, the generals, Prigozhin - all fake to idk “troll the Ukrainians” or something.
Like what for even? Although i want to watch the reaction of two groups:
-
Westolefto claiming Wagner Group is full of nazis, so whatcha gonna do when MoD is purging them.
-
The particular minority of Zposters who claim RF army is shit and Wagner is hot.
EDIT: and of course lemmy thread(s) about it are full with absolutely disgusting filth. Also natobots are already doing 180 about Prigozhin and turning him from the third coming of Hitler into reluctant hero “ready to right some wrongs” lmao
EDIT2: Zposters are pretty calm about it, either call this nothingburger or treason but nobody expect this to go anywhere. Pretty unentertaining to be honest.

I hope Russian government/army gets fucked real good!
Omg yes, your alienated, depressed, average as wage-slave life would be so much better if Western venture capitalists and arms manufacturers could loot and destroy another nation, that would be so heckin based
You know nothing about me.
Interesting how cheering against the fascist imperialist Russian government tells you so much about me. Your brainwashing was pretty successful, I see!
Yes, I, a Westerner, living in the West, bombarses almost exclusively by Western media and narratives from the moment I was born, am actually brainwashes by…the Asians or something. Whereas you regurgitating Western narratives your whole life, are a real free thinker.
And because you’re committed about anti-fascism and anti-imperialism you definitely have a coherent theory on what these are and are organizing against them, primarily by agitating against the monopolies that spawn fascism in your own country and especially in the West itself as the hegemonic sphere upholding those monopolies.
Oh, the opinion of a white western upper class person, how interesting and unique, I really needed that in my life! Go back to your fascist imperialist country that coups everything it touches.
Fascist and imperialist are apt descriptions of the Russian state!
You are just reflecting what you cannot see in your own, gringo de mierda.
😘
I liked every tweet in the thread
Statements by Surovikhin and Alekseev calling on Wagners to put down their weapons
Is this 5 or 6D chess yet?
Pentagon putting some of that missing 23 trillion to good use? How much does it cost to bribe a mercenary unit into suicide I wonder?
