Wagner wants to seize nuclear weapons depots - Atesh guerrilla movement
Nuclear weapons are another lever of pressure on the Kremlin.
The Wagnerians are heading towards the town of Borisoglebsk in the Voronezh region: there are nuclear weapons depots there. The mercenaries plan to seize the depot. This is reported by the Atesh guerrilla movement.
This means that Prigozhin will have nuclear shells," the report says.
The "375 Site C" nuclear weapons depot is reportedly under the Russian Defence Ministry's control.
The Russian Armed Forces will probably not be able to defend the depot with their own forces, as the Russian Defence Ministry has no troops available, the guerrillas admit.
A reminder that on the evening of June 23, 2023, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the ringleader of the Russian terrorist organization Wagner Group, said that the Wagner base was allegedly attacked by regular Russian troops on orders from Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and his Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov. The Russian Defence Ministry called it a provocation. Prigozhin appealed to the Russian army, urged "no resistance" and in case of resistance threatened to "destroy immediately".
Prigozhin's main troops are currently in the Tula region. This is adjacent to the Moscow region.
Wagner equipment has also been spotted in the Lipetsk region.
