Russian mercenary boss Prigozhin in standoff with Russian army amid 'armed mutiny'
Rebellious Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Saturday he had taken control of the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don as part of an attempt to oust the military leadership amid what the authorities said was an armed mutiny.
This possible armed conflict between the Russian Army and the Wagner Group may come to fruition due to allegations that the Russian Army opened fire on fellow Russians acting as mercenaries in the Wagner Group.
The Russian FSB, successor to the KGB, has accused the Wagner leader, Prigozhin of staging a military coup but Prigozhin has declared that it is not a coup but instead is justice for those who were killed in Wagner Group by the Russian Armed Forces.
While more war is not good, hopefully this gives Ukrainians an opening to reclaim more of their nation.
