In an unprecedented development, Russia announced on Friday night that the head of the private military company, Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin is under investigation for allegedly inciting mutiny within the country’s military.
The astonishing news comes after Prigozhin claimed that a recent missile strike carried out by the military resulted in the deaths of his mercenary troops.
The influential head of the private military, known for his close ties to the Kremlin, labeled the military leadership as “evil” and demanded that their actions be halted immediately.
In his statement, he expressed his determination to seek justice and vowed to march against the alleged wrongdoing.
Russian authorities, however, have firmly denied any involvement in the reported strike and have accused Prigozhin of engaging in illegal actions. They have called for an end to his alleged incitement and warned of the consequences of such behavior.
The situation has caught the attention of President Vladimir Putin, who is reportedly aware of the unfolding events.
According to his Spokesman, all necessary measures are being taken to address the situation, suggesting that the Kremlin is actively monitoring and handling the situation.
This development marks a major escalation in the internal crisis within Russia.
The accusations and counter-accusations between Prigozhin and the military reflect a deepening divide within the country’s power structures, potentially leading to further instability.
The investigation into the alleged incitement of mutiny by the head of the Wagner mercenary group will likely have far-reaching implications.
