Things appear to be moving very fast in the city of Rostov-on-Don, where footage on local Telegram channels appear to show Wagner forces surrounding a government building.

The footage - which has not been verified by the BBC - shows armed men in uniform walking around the local interior ministry's building's perimeter, as armoured vehicles surround it, including two tanks with their guns trained on it.

Meanwhile the local governor Vasily Golubev urged residents to avoid the centre of Rostov-on-Don.

"In connection with the current situation, I ask you to refrain from traveling to the city center and, if possible, not to leave your homes," he wrote on Telegram

Video claiming to show Yevgeny Prigozhin inside Russia's southern military headquarters in Rostov-on-Don is circulating online.

In the video Prigozhin says his troops will blockade the city and move on to Moscow unless defence chiefs Sergei Shoigu and Valery Gerasimov come to meet them.

This will be good for ukraine if the kremlin is distracted

Depends on how long
this internal Russian fight
goes on for.

Also, can we trust the Information?

Things are developing rapidly in southern Russia at the moment, so here's a quick roundup of what we know so far:

Wagner mercenary group boss Yevgeny Prigozhin says his forces control key sites in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don
He has posted video in which he says Wagner forces will continue to blockade the city and move on to Moscow unless defence chiefs Sergei Shoigu and Valery Gerasimov come and meet him
Earlier footage showed armed men in Rostov-on-Don surrounding a government building with troops and tanks
Anti-terror measures have been introduced in Moscow, with armoured vehicles seen on the streets
The M4 highway connecting Moscow and Rostov has been closed at the border between Lipetsk and Voronezh regions, the Lipetsk governor says
All this follows a dramatic escalation in Russian military infighting on Friday evening:

The Russian authorities have accused Wagner boss Prigozhin of armed rebellion
Prigozhin has accused the Russian military of carrying out a deadly missile strike on Wagner troops in Ukraine, which the defence ministry denies
Prigozhin has vowed to "go all the way" and topple the Russian military leadership, but denied he was carrying out a coup

it's a distraction at the moment, perhaps brought on by successes with the ukraine counter offensive?

If the kremlin want to put down the rebellion it should be fairly easy for them to do, but once unrest starts it can be very difficult to stop, particularly if the top generals start thinking about their own futures.

What i do know is that we don't want the leader of the wagner group to get close to power because he is one crazy sob

Russian President Vladimir Putin will make a televised address shortly, the Tass news agency quotes a Kremlin spokesman as saying.

Jeez.

If the West supply Wagner with weapons, it'll be like another Middle East situation.

he needs to go, and he won't step down so


glad Wagner finally see the light then, Russia need changes, since the ukraine conflict isn't going to be solved through war, that is a losing game more and more and they start to see that, how Putin keeps sending his citizens on suicide missions basically



a new more stable leader could end the conflict through more talks, easier to come to compromises maybe

So far,

Putin needs to take back control
or his nation could change

I think the ones that are actually fighting have got fed up listening to the ones who are not fighting
