Russia’s Federal Security Service has launched a criminal case against Wagner financier Yevgeny Prigozhin for “calling for an armed insurreection.” The FSB denied Prigozhin’s accusations that the Russian Army had launched a missile attack against his PMC, calling them an “information provocation”:
“Prigozhin’s statements are actually calls to start an armed civil conflict on the territory of the Russian Federation, and his actions are a ‘stab in the back’ to the Russian servicemen fighting with the pro-fascist Ukrainian forces. Due to the seriousness of the situation and the threat of escalation of confrontation in our country, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case on the fact of the call for armed insurrection by Evgeny Prigozhin.
We urge the PMC fighters not to make irreparable mistakes, to stop any forceful actions against the Russian people, not to carry out the criminal and traitorous orders of Prigozhin, to take measures to detain him,” the FSB posted.
In addition, Russia’s top brass addressed Wagner fighters, urging them to disobey Prigozhin…
