Kremlin briefs Putin on 'attempted armed rebellion'
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been briefed by the country's security agencies about what was referred to as an "attempted armed rebellion," according to Russia's state-run media.
The late-night statement from Putin's spokesman suggested that the Kremlin considered Wagner Group's move into Rostov-on-Don, a key Russian city close to the border with Ukraine, to be a "rebellion."
Wagner's founder Yevgeny Prigozhin in an audio message on Friday claimed his forces would now punish Russia's defense minister and chief of general staff, telling other units to stand down and not offer resistance.
"Special services, law enforcement agencies, namely the Ministry of Defense, the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Rosgvardiya, in round-the-clock mode, constantly report to the president on the measures taken in the context of the implementation of the instructions previously given to him," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Saturday.
