Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin declares that he will "stop" Russian military leadership as fighting breaks out between members of Wagner Group and the Russian military, after the latter allegedly attacked Wagner forces.
Prigozhin says a "huge number" of his forces have been killed in airstrikes by government forces, and personally blames Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu for ordering the attacks. He also calls for a "march of justice", and asks Russian soldiers "not to resist".
The Federal Security Service begins a mutiny investigation into Yevgeny Prigozhin, saying "we demand that unlawful actions be stopped immediately". Russian President Vladimir Putin has been briefed on the situation, with "necessary measures" being taken, according to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.
