Vladimir Putin vows to crush uprising

By Jordi Bou

June 24, 2023 - O Presidente Vladimir Putine prometeu esmagar um motim armado após
o chefe do Grupo Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhine, tomar o controlo de
instalações militares para tentar depor a liderança militar da Rússia.

Yevgeny Prigozhin accuses Russia’s military leadership of killing large number of his fighters in an air strike in Ukraine. He has threatened to march on Moscow unless he meets Russia's defence minister.

Wagner fighters are in control of Rostov-on-Don, a city of more than a million people close to the border with Ukraine, and are rapidly advancing northwards through western Russia.

Reports say that Wagner mercenaries have seized military facilities in Voronezh, which is halfway between Rostov and Moscow.
