Sunak announced his intention to discuss the situation in Russia with the allies of London

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak plans to discuss the situation in Russia with London’s allies during the day. He stated this in an interview with the BBC.

“We are closely monitoring the development of the situation and are in touch with our allies. I will talk to some of them later today. <...> The main thing now for all parties is to show responsibility and protect civilians,” Sunak said (quote according to TASS).

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with his counterpart from Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev about the situation in the country. According to the press service of the head of the republic, Tokayev noted that “the constitutional order and the rule of law are an indispensable condition for maintaining law and order in the country.” In addition, Putin held talks with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

This is happening against the backdrop of events related to the founder of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin. On the evening of June 23, in social networks associated with him, on his behalf, it was announced about a missile attack on one of the rear camps of a military company and other statements were circulated.

The Ministry of Defense stated that reports of attacks on Wagner PMC fighters are not true and are an “information provocation.” The Prosecutor General’s Office reported that the Investigation Department of the FSB of Russia opened a criminal case on the organization of an armed rebellion against Prigozhin. Later, the President delivered an address.
