Prigozhin told how the PMCs manage to move so quickly in Russia. His mercenaries are already in the Tula region
Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner PMC, said his fighters were going to Moscow to "deal with lawlessness".
PMC chief Wagner said that his mercenaries managed to move so quickly towards Moscow because he was supported by the Russian population.
And we went without a single shot, we did not touch a single conscript, we did not kill a single person on the way. Aircrafts, helicopters, planes were working on us. We entered Rostov without firing a single shot, we captured the headquarters building.
We did not disturb a single person's work. There are people standing in the street, unfurling the flags of the Wagner Cheka," he stated.
He also said that his mercenaries were given goods for free in the shops, as someone wanted to pay for them.
Meanwhile, clashes between supporters and opponents of Wagner have already begun in the streets of Russian cities.
According to monitoring channels, Wagner's mercenaries are already in the Tula region - a neighbouring region to Moscow.
At the same time, armed men in camouflage uniforms disarmed the guards of Rostov penal colonies. They urge the cons to join them and march together towards Moscow, according to the AteoBreaking telegram channel.
OSINT analysts at the international intelligence community InformNapalm believe that Russian special services are likely to have bypassed the bridges on the approaches to the Kremlin by now, or will start doing so soon.
But this will not help if on the other side of the Moscow River sleeper cells of the Wagnerites are already waiting, or units to join them from the north and east of Moscow. In any case, the Wagnerites should consider the likelihood of mines and destruction of bridges if they plan to move on the Kremlin," it said.
In the meantime, Moscow has been receiving mass phone calls about mines.
