Russian dictator Vladimir Putin risks losing power. The next day is crucial.
This is reported by CNN.
CNN emphasizes that Putin is so used to being considered a "master tactician" that the first statements of the head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, were seen as an attempt by the Russian president to "keep his generals in suspense."
It is likely that Wagner's units had been planning this for some time. The excuse for the uprising appeared spontaneously - an alleged airstrike on the "Wagner" camp in the forest. Mercenary forces gathered very quickly and advanced to Rostov. According to the publication, it is difficult to do it spontaneously in one day.
As the publication emphasizes, it is impossible to imagine that from this moment the Putin regime will ever return to its previous "heights" in terms of total control. And it is inevitable that even more upheavals and changes await him ahead.
Coup in Russia
The conflict between the "Wagner" PMC and the Ministry of Defense of Russia has reached its peak. The founder of the Communist Party of Ukraine, Yevgeny Prigozhin, accused the Russian military of attacking the rear positions of the Wagnerites. After that, the head of the mercenaries announced a "campaign" to Moscow.
Mercenaries have already occupied Rostov. Reuters also wrote about Voronezh.
According to Prigozhin, the "Wagnerians" will go to Moscow until Defense Minister Serhii Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov are handed over to them.
