Russian Armor Rolled Into the Streets of Rostov Amidst Threats of a Coup
Published 1 years ago
Footage coming out of Rostov-on-Don, Russia shows armored vehicles being set up at military checkpoints as threats of a coup from the Wagner Group are starting to break out across the country of Russia.
Rumors of chaos and in-fighting amongst Russian lines across the Ukrainian front today are reinforced by increased security in the large Russian cities of Rostov-on=Don and Moscow. While the scenes in the video above were specifically recorded in Rostov, we have confirmed video of checkpoints being established by the Russian military and FSB in Moscow as well that we will be posting shortly.
There are scattered reports from the front-lines near Bakhmut that Wagner troops are engaging Russian forces, and that some Russian troops are also defecting to the side of Wagner as well. It is currently believed that this is all occurring as a result of an intentional strike carried out by the Russian Ministry of Defense on a rear Wagner Field Camp that left a large number of their troops killed and wounded.
Prigozhin, the owner and leader of Wagner, has stated openly on his Telegram account following the strike that "The majority of the military are warmly supporting us. We get messages: “Finally, the jusice in the army will come! Finally, you will ensure we will get the ammo and won’t be thrown as meat!” He also accuses Sergei Shoigu, the Defense Minister of Russia, of hiding thousands of dead Russian Soldiers in the city of Rostov, where the Russian Military is currently establishing defensive checkpoint.
This is a developing situation, and we will continue to report on it throughout the night.
