Chronicle of one evening in June 2023

Prigogine

The Council of Commanders of Wagner PMC made a decision. The evil carried out by the country's military leadership must be stopped. Shoigu had just cowardly fled Rostov. This creature will be stopped. There are 25 thousand of us, and we are going to figure out why chaos is happening in the country. This is not a military coup. This is a march for justice. The majority of the military strongly supports us.

FSB

A case has been opened on the basis of a call for rebellion by Prigozhin. Prigozhin’s statements and actions are calls for the start of an armed civil conflict in the Russian Federation and a stab in the back of the Russian military. We urge the fighters of the Wagner PMC not to carry out Prigozhin’s criminal orders and take measures to detain him.
