PMC Wagner's coup d'etat - SPECIAL

On 23 June 2023, the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary organization, initiated a rebellion against the government of Russia. The revolt arose amidst escalating tensions between the Russian Ministry of Defence and Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of Wagner.

Prigozhin portrayed the rebellion as a response to an alleged attack on his forces by the ministry.He dismissed the government's justification for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, blamed Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu for the country's military shortcomings, and accused him of waging the war for the benefit of Russian oligarchs. In a televised address on 24 June, Russian president Vladimir Putin denounced Wagner's actions as treason and pledged to quell the rebellion.

Prigozhin's forces asserted that they had seized control of Rostov-on-Don and the Southern Military District headquarters, and were advancing towards Voronezh, with intentions of reaching Moscow. Fifteen Russian soldiers were killed, while no casualties were reported among Wagner fighters. Following negotiations with Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko, Prigozhin agreed to stand down and, as of 11:00 p.m. on 24 June (UTC+3), began withdrawing from Rostov-on-Don.
