Wagner Recruitment Banner Removed in Moscow | VOA News

Recruitment banners for the Wagner mercenary group were seen being taken down from billboards on Saturday.

Russian mercenary fighters were seen passing the Russian city of Voronezh, rapidly advancing toward Moscow Saturday after they apparently took control of Rostov-on-Don, a city of more than a million people close to the border with Ukraine.

In Rostov, which serves as the main rear logistical hub for Russia's entire invasion force, residents milled about, recording on mobile phones, as Wagner Group mercenary fighters in armored vehicles and battle tanks took up positions, Reuters reported.

Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed that his fighters entered the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don without a shot fired and that no one was killed during what he calls a “march of justice.” His claims could not be verified.

Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to crush what he called an armed mutiny, which he compared to Russia's Civil War a century ago. #russia #ukraine #news #voanews
