MUTINY - Wagner Group takes control of Russian Army Command

Russia opened a criminal investigation into the maverick leader of the Wagner mercenary group after he alleged the Russian army killed an “enormous number” of his fighters in rocket strikes on their rear bases in Ukraine. In an unprecedented escalation of his feud with the country’s top brass, Yevgeny Prigozhin threatened to “march” on Moscow with 25,000 fighters and punish those responsible, prompting speculation of a coup attempt. Meanwhile the Wagner Group took control of the Russian Army Command in Rostov on June 23.
