Tanks on streets amid Wagner ‘coup’ attempt in Russia (VIDEOS)

Unverified clips appear to show a significant military movement in downtown Rostov-on-Don

Tanks, armored personnel carriers, and other military hardware have been filmed on the move inRussia’s southern city of Rostov-on-Don, according to multiple, though as yet unverified videos, posted on social media.

The extraordinary footage comes after Moscow accused Evgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner Group private military company (PMC), of staging an attempt at an armed insurrection.

One clip,released on Saturday morning, appears to show two tanks parked in a crossroads while being flanked by several infantrymen. A military truck and armored combat vehicle are seen in the distance. The video was purportedly filmed near the HQ of Russia’s southern military district.

Another clip features a column led by a Russian main battle tank and an armored personnel carrier, with several other armored vehicles, fuel and and pickups loaded with military equipment following behind.

Telegram channel Baza released a video of a long traffic jam to the east of Rostov-on-Don, on the junction with the M-4 highway, which was reportedly closed to civilian traffic.

Several other videos from the city also feature armed men in military uniform patrolling the streets while a pick-up truck blocks the road. The soldiers were reluctant to speak with reporters and would not say whether they belong to Wagner or the Russian army.

The development comes as Russia’s anti-terrorism committee said on Friday that the Federal Security Service (FSB) hadopened a criminal investigation into Prigozhin over alleged calls to stage an “armed rebellion.”The authorities were referring to an earlier statement by the PMC head who accused the Russian military of conducting a deadly missile strike on a Wagner camp. The Defense Ministry in Moscow has denied the allegation, describing it as “an informational provocation.”

Ukraine attempts to retake Artyomovsk after Prigozhin ‘provocation’ – MOD

Kiev is concentrating troops for an offensive, the Russian ministry claims

Kiev is concentrating troops in an attempt to retake the key Donbass city of Artyomovsk, known as Bakhmut in Ukraine, the Russian Ministry of Defense has announced.

According to the ministry, Ukrainian units are “taking advantage of [Wagner chief Evgeny] Prigozhin’s provocation aimed at disorganizing the situation.”

“Servicemen from the Southern group are suppressing the enemy with artillery and aviation strikes,” the statement added.

On Friday, the ministry rejected the claim made by PMC Wagner head Evgeny Prigozhin about a rocket strike on one of the company’s bases from Russian territory. “All messages and video distributed on social networks on behalf of [Evgeny] Prigozhin about the alleged strike by the [Russian military] on the camps of PMC Wagner in the rear areas do not correspond to reality and are an informational provocation,” the ministry said in a statement.

Following Prigozhin’s statement, the Federal Security Service (FSB) opened a criminal investigation into his calling for an armed rebellion.

On May 20, Prigozhin announced that the operation to take control of Artyomovsk, which had been spearheaded by Wagner, had ended and that the city had been “fully captured.” The battle for the major logistics hub had been fought for 224 days, he added.

The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed later the same day that the city had been taken, with President Vladimir Putin congratulating Wagner servicemen and regular Russian military troops on their success.

Something feels very odd about this, like its staged. Maybe not but why would the Wagner group do this. The reporting is odd too.
