Belarus has stepped in: the Belarusian opposition announces it wants to seize the chance of an insurgency in Russia

The founder of the 1st Separate Airborne Assault Company within the AFU, Sakhashchyk, made an appeal to the Belarusian military in connection with the events in Russia.

Either we take this historic chance or we lose everything," he said.

Sachaschik appealed to the Belarusian military and urged to act together.

I want first of all to appeal to the Belarusian military. We have no one to rely on, but you and I, being united, will definitely cope with this... We will have time to ask each other questions and express our grievances. Let's not do it now. Let's unite the nation, let's save the homeland, the rest will follow," he said.

Meanwhile, Lukashenko's private plane landed in Turkey early this morning. It took a strange route around the rebellious regions of the Russian Federation.

Kremlin media spread the word that Putin had allegedly called Lukashenko in the morning and "told him what was going on".

He himself addressed the nation on television and called Prigozhin's actions a betrayal.

The representative office of the Wagner PMC said that it already controls all military facilities in Voronezh, Rostov. Local authorities only recently announced counter-terrorist measures there. Also, Prigozhin said that local representatives of the Russian army are moving to their side.
