Mayor Sergey Sobyanin has ordered Moscow residents to stay inside as Putin addressed his nation admitting that an “armed mutiny” was advancing. “I ask you to refrain from traveling around the city as much as possible,” Sobyanin warned.
said he was “ready to die” along with 25,000 fighters prepared to stage a mutiny and stop the “evil” leading the failed war effort in Ukraine.
“If someone gets in the way, we will destroy everything that gets in the way. We reach out a hand to everyone, no need to spit in that hand. We are going all the way,” he said, later adding: “We’re all ready to die, all 25,000! And then there will be another 25,000!” Russia’s Defense Ministry said Prigozhin’s claims “do not correspond to reality and are an informational provocation.”
The mercenary leader escalated his defiance on Friday, asserting that military leaders were “deceiving the public and the president” about why a war with Ukraine was necessary in the first place. He accused military leaders of fear-mongering about a potential Ukrainian invasion that was never coming to justify launching an invasion of their own.
