Putin vows to Punish Mercenaries as Wagner leader Calls for Rebellion against Army

Vladimir Putin has vowed to punish mercenaries involved in an apparent armed mutiny

Russian president Vladimir Putin has vowed to punish mercenaries involved in an apparent armed mutiny.

Wagner group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has called for a rebellion against the army, and while he has denied attempting a coup, it is understood the group has taken the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don near the Ukraine border.

Prigozhin accused the army of launching a deadly attack on his forces in Ukraine, where Wagner troops are fighting for Russia – which Moscow has denied.

Now, in recent hours, security in Russia has been tightened, with internet restricted and military trucks spotted on Moscow’s streets.
