Get ready for the Ramzan Kadyrov vs Yevgeny Prigozhin showdown!
The leader of the Chechen forces Ramzan Kadyrov has called the "Prigozhin's treacherous march" a "knife in the back".
Chechen fighters "have already left for the zones of tension", said Ramzan Kadyrov.
He appealed to "fighters" not to "fall for provocations" - though it was unclear if he was talking about Wagner mercenaries, Russian soldiers, or both.
War is "not the time to voice personal grievances", he said, referencing the long-running feud between Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Russian defence ministry.
"This is military rebellion. There is no excuse for such actions. I fully support every word of Vladimir Putin."
He finished by threatening: "The rebellion must be crushed, and if this requires harsh measures, then we are ready."

A huge fire is burning at an oil depot in Voronezh - one of the two cities where Wagner fighters are believed to have seized key military sites.
The regional governor, Alexander Gusev, said 100 firefighters were working to put it out.
Videos circulating on social media show a massive column of black smoke rising from the site.

We’ve seen bigger riots and “peaceful protests” here in the U.S. and others in France, europe etc pasts couple years than this.
Seems Russian citizens based on the pictures and videos seeing this in the streets are pissed at Wagner lol.
People walking around casually. Weird. One guy was waiting on a Uber lol. Looks a bit staged.
No massive uprisings going on or protests at all from civilians. Everyone in support of Putin.
I’d say this is a perfect opportunity for Zelensky to start another “counter offensive” I mean crash course in Bakhmut.
Yawn.
Security measures tightened in Moscow, say law-enforcement agencies
OMON and SOBR special operations police forces and Russian National Guard units have gone on alert
MOSCOW, June 24. /TASS/. Major facilities in Moscow have been placed under enhanced protection and security measures have been tightened in the Russian capital, the law-enforcement agencies told TASS on Saturday.
"Security measures have been tightened in Moscow and all major facilities, government agencies and transport infrastructure sites have been placed under enhanced protection," the law-enforcement agencies said.
OMON and SOBR special operations police forces and Russian National Guard units have gone on alert, the law-enforcement agencies said.
The Telegram channel of Wagner private military company founder Yevgeny Prigozhin earlier posted several audio records with his statements, in which he claimed that strikes had allegedly been delivered against his formations and accused the country’s military leadership of that. In the wake of this, the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia has opened a criminal case into a call for an armed mutiny. The FSB urged Wagner fighters not to obey Prigozhin’s orders and take measures for his detention.
Russia’s Defense Ministry dismissed as untrue the reports that Russian forces had allegedly delivered a strike against "the rear bases of the Wagner private military company." Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that President Vladimir Putin had been informed about the situation around Prigozhin.

Respectfully Wagner isn't calling for a civilian riot, they have asked for the opposite. Basically said stay off the streets and out of their way, did they not?

Give it time.
"big things have small beginnings".
With any luck this will spell the beginning of the end regarding Putin's ""special military operation"" aka war and invasion.
Freedom to Ukraine and down with Putin and his ilk.
What is Zelensky/Azov doing? They should launch another “counter offense” in Bakhmut.
Either they can’t, or holding off and scared. Probably both.
You do realize Prigozhin isn’t exactly a Mr Rodgers alternative to Putin.
