The Public Relations Center of the Federal Security Service of Russia, in its message, called on the fighters of a private military company not to follow the orders of the founder of the PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, and also to detain him. It is reported by RT.

The Kremlin said that President Vladimir Putin is aware of the situation and that the necessary measures are being taken. The National Anti-Terrorism Committee of the Russian Federation on Friday evening, June 23, stated that the allegations spread on behalf of Yevgeny Prigozhin had no basis.
