Tik-Tok Kadyrov's troops ride out to help Putin

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, reacted to the rebellion by the head of the Wagner PMCs and said that Prigozhin was a traitor who had stuck a knife in his back.

Kadyrov warned that what is happening may have "bloody consequences" and said that he has already sent his mercenaries to where clashes are taking place between the Russian Ministry of Defence and Prigozhin's mercenaries.

At the same time, Kadyrov called Putin a good strategist and assured him that he was in full control of the situation on the front.

Each of us sees only one part of the map, but he sees all at once! And as Vladimir Vladimirovich rightly pointed out in his address to the nation - this is a military insurgency! There is no justification for such actions! I fully support every word Putin said!", Kadyrov wrote.

Kadyrov reminded the Russians that they already have plenty of enemies "in the West"

What is happening is not an ultimatum to the Ministry of Defence. It's a challenge to the state, and against this challenge it is necessary to unite around the national leader: the military, the security forces, the governors, the civilian population," Kadyrov said.

He added that the insurgency must be put down.

And if for this you have to take tough measures, we are ready," he added.

Meanwhile, the Wagner PMC centre in Moscow is cordoned off by police and masked people. Some of them are carrying weapons.

Monitor channels say that Prigozhin lied about the "shell famine" and prepared for civil war for 2 months by stockpiling ammunition.

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

Earlier, the Wagnerians took over Rostov.
