Armoured vehicles and fighters of Wagner on the streets after the Wagner paramilitary group took control of the headquarters of Russia's southern military district in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, on June 24, 2023.
The governor of the Lipetsk region, whose capital is just 420 kilometres south of Moscow, said Wagner’s private military force was “moving across” the territory and urged civilians not to leave their homes. “Why does the country support us? Because we went on a march of justice,” he said, claiming his men had not killed any soldiers despite having been hit with strikes from army “artillery and after that from helicopters”.
The FSB security service accused Prigozhin of attempting to launch a “civil conflict” and urged Wagner fighters to detain him. Latvia announced that it was tightening security on its Russian border and would not admit refugees fleeing the chaos. As the insurrection force headed north through Voronezh and Lipetsk towards Moscow, the capital’s mayor announced that “anti-terrorist” measures were being taken.
