"Due to the difficult situation". Moscow declared a day off on 26 June

The first images of Wagner from the Moscow suburbs circulated by the Russian media.

The light equipment is about 50-100km away from the Russian capital.

The Kremlin is preparing to declare martial law - "We can explain," citing a source close to the presidential administration.

It is reported that Putin's "red button" TU-214PU plane is on its way back to Moscow.

A few hours earlier it had been lifted off in Moscow and flown to St Petersburg.

Baza reports that Sobyanin has declared Monday 26 June a day off in Moscow. The mayor of the capital said this was due to the difficult situation.

In order to minimise the risks, I have decided as part of the operational headquarters to declare Monday a non-working day - with the exception of the authorities and enterprises of the continuous cycle, the defence industry and urban services. Please refrain from travelling around the city as much as possible. Traffic may be blocked in certain neighbourhoods and on certain roads," said the mayor of Moscow.

The Moscow Times reports that the Kremlin may order an operation to eliminate the "justice march" in the coming hours:

The Wagners could reach Moscow by nightfall. If the authorities want to prevent this, they will have to carry out the operation in the next few hours.

Recall that mass bombing calls continue in Moscow.

Some "bombers" introduce themselves as "Wagner employees" and make demands of law enforcers.

Since midnight in Moscow, anonymous callers have started calling police departments - they warned law enforcers about mines or the imminent destruction of police buildings in the capital.

In addition, unknown persons reported mines at the Pushkin Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery, and a number of shopping malls. As "Base" sources noted, the security forces are now "taking each case seriously" and are carrying out evacuations and inspections. However, no explosive devices have been found in any of the buildings so far.

Meanwhile, the Wagner PMC is left to pass the Oka River in front of Moscow

The Russians have already blocked the bridge and are sending large convoys of equipment there.

Earlier, Wurstka developed a map of Yevgeny Prigozhin's and PMC Wagner's march towards Moscow.

The data is current as of 16:30 Moscow time.

The mercenary forces were divided into two groups which crossed the Russian border and the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories at two different locations.

The first group crossed the Novoshakhtinsk checkpoint in the Rostov Region around midnight, reached the M-4 highway and advanced along it to Rostov-on-Don, where the headquarters of the Southern Military District is located.

It is known that this group of PMCs included Yevgeny Prigozhin, who in Rostov met with Deputy Defense Minister Yunus-Bek Yevkurov and General Alekseev.

The second group crossed the border about 120 km to the north of the first through the Voloshino checkpoint. From there, the mercenaries moved towards the town of Millerovo and turned onto the M-4 highway to travel in the direction of Moscow.

According to Vyrstka's sources, the Wagner PMC bypassed Voronezh along the highway and continued northwards, meeting with units of the Defence Ministry on the way.
