Putin responded by vowing to protect Russia from threats, including internal treason, causing concern in the international community.
On June 24, 2023, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group, appeared to have seized control of Rostov, a city in southern Russia, in what seemed to be an armed uprising against the Russian military and President Putin. Prigozhin, who has known Putin since the 1990s, accused Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu of lying to Putin and the Russian people about the war in Ukraine. He presented himself as a patriot, but stopped short of criticizing Putin directly. Residents of Rostov welcomed the Wagner soldiers, and thousands of them were moving towards Moscow. Putin responded by vowing to protect Russia from threats, including internal treason. The international community, including France and Poland, reacted with concern. This event marked a significant challenge to Putin's authority and could have far-reaching consequences for Russia and the region.

The situation in Russia has escalated into a confrontation between President Putin and the Wagner Group, led by Yevgeny Prigogin. The EU considers it an internal Russian matter, but the situation has become a confrontation with the Russian president himself. Prigogin and his supporters are against the corruption and lies in the country, and raids on Ragnar premises are ongoing. Cities across Russia are seeing the removal of Wagner recruiting banners, and the Wagner March continues to gather momentum. The military is moving into position around Moscow, and key military sites are being taken over by Wagner forces. The battle seems to be at its peak, with Wagner troops bearing down on Moscow and Russian troops taking up positions to protect the capital. The situation has the potential to be a mutiny or even the start of a civil war, and the end goal is unclear.
Mutiny by Wagner mercenaries against Russian government ends in chaos: Ego and arrogance of Wagner leader Progyny led to violent mutiny against Russian government, resulting in harsh response and at least 12 deaths.
The mutiny led by Yevgeniy Progyny and his Wagner mercenaries against the Russian government came to an abrupt end after 23 hours of chaos, resulting in at least 12 deaths. Progyny, who had gained international attention for his criticisms of Russia's war in Ukraine, seemed to believe he could challenge Putin's regime, but experts suggest his ego and arrogance may have led to his downfall. The use of violence against Russian soldiers and civilians, which is a hallmark of Wagner, likely led to a harsh response from the government. Despite Progyny's attempts to expose the reality of the war in Ukraine, the brutal tactics and loyalty to Putin that define Wagner ultimately proved to be his undoing.

Raising Questions About Progynychyn's Death: Accident or Assassination?: Putin's consolidation of control over armed forces may be short-term, with potential long-term implications of Wagner Group's disarray and instability in Russia.
The crash of the Embraer jet carrying Yevgeniy Progynychyn, the head of the Wagner Group, has raised questions about whether it was an accident or an assassination. Western officials believe it was a targeted attack, part of Putin's history of silencing critics. The death of Progynychyn and his top lieutenants is seen as a warning and decapitation strike against potential mutineers or coup plotters. Putin's control over the armed forces has been consolidated in the short term, but the longer term implications suggest that Russia's strike force may be in disarray, with the Wagner Group, a major instrument of Russia's influence, in complete disarray. Despite Putin's attempts to project confidence, the death of Progynychyn has caused visible signs of unease. The incident highlights the instability and uncertainty in Russia.
