He said ambition and personal interests have led to treason against the country, people and cause that soldiers for the Wagner Group, a Russian private military contractor, had been fighting for.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Putin said the attack betrays the memory of Wagner Group soldiers who died in key battles and is pushing the country toward anarchy and defeat in Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a\u00a0blow to\u00a0Russia, to\u00a0our people. Our actions to\u00a0defend the\u00a0Fatherland from this threat will be harsh. All those who have consciously chosen the\u00a0path of\u00a0betrayal, planned an\u00a0armed mutiny and\u00a0taken the\u00a0path of\u00a0blackmail and\u00a0terrorism, will inevitably be punished and\u00a0will answer before the\u00a0law and\u00a0our people,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prigozhin\u2019s Wagner Group has played a key role in the invasion of Ukraine, spearheading Russia\u2019s seizure of the city of Bakhmut last month. But the group\u2019s relations with the Russian military have broken down as Prigozhin has criticized military officials and others and accused them of not providing the supplies needed for success.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tensions reached a boiling point on Friday after Prigozhin accused the Russian military of attacking his group\u2019s camp, killing many of his fighters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He also denounced attempted Russian justifications for the war, saying that Ukraine was not threatening Russia nor was it persecuting ethnic Russians in its territory at the time Russian forces invaded last year. He blamed Russian oligarchs for the war and said they are \u201cpractically ruling\u201d the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prigozhin called for an armed rebellion to remove Russian Defense Minister\u00a0Sergei Shoigu from power, accusing Shoigu and Gen.

Early Saturday local time, he said Wagner Group fighters had crossed from Ukraine into Russia and reached the town of Rostov-on-Don, home to the Russian military headquarters for the southern region. He declared that Wagner\u2019s actions are not a \u201cmilitary coup but a march for justice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Putin said \u201ccounterterrorism measures\u201d are in effect in Moscow and other regions, and action will be taken to secure Rostov.<\/p>\n<p>Intelligence from the United Kingdom Defense Ministry <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DefenceHQ\/status\/1672505632325238784?cxt=HHwWgICwudzA97UuAAAA\">states<\/a> that Wagner forces have \u201calmost certainly\u201d occupied key security sites in Rostov, including the headquarters for running the war in Ukraine. The ministry said Wagner fighters are moving north toward Moscow, and some Russian security forces have likely not fought back against Wagner based on \u201cvery limited\u201d evidence of fighting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the coming hours, the loyalty of Russia\u2019s security forces, and especially the Russian National Guard, will be key to how the crisis plays out. This represents the most significant challenge to the Russian state in recent times,\u201d the ministry said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The Russian Federal Security Service, the successor agency to the Soviet Union\u2019s KGB, has called for Prigozhin\u2019s arrest on a charge of inciting an armed rebellion. This came only hours after a criminal case was opened against him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov also said his forces were prepared to help put down the rebellion, using whatever tactics are necessary, Reuters <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/chechen-leader-says-his-forces-are-ready-help-put-down-wagner-mutiny-2023-06-24\/\">reported<\/a>.
