The Governor of the Kursk region urged Prigozhin to lay down his arms

The governor of the Kursk region, Roman Starovoit, called on the founder of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin to lay down his arms in order to prevent the development of an internal Russian conflict. About this he wrote in my Telegram channel.

“The Kursk region closely cooperated with Wagner PMC in the training of fighters of voluntary people’s squads of our region, and I myself underwent this training. After an open rebellion, many advise to cross out and delete all references to this from the social networks of the regional administration, but I will not do this, ”the message says.

According to him, “the leader’s ambitions should not cross out the past merits of ordinary fighters,” speaking about the soldiers of a private military company and their work in the special operation zone, including the operation to liberate Artemovsk.

On the evening of June 23, on social networks associated with Prigozhin, 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.” It was reported that the Investigation Department of the FSB of Russia opened a criminal case on the organization of an armed rebellion against Prigozhin.

In connection with the situation with PMC Wagner and its founder, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the citizens of Russia, the personnel of the Armed Forces, law enforcement agencies and special services. He stated that all those who prepared an armed rebellion, “took the path of blackmail and terrorist methods”, will be punished – “they will answer both before the law and before our people.”
