For years the Kremlin had protected the private military company Wagner, whose mercenaries had defended Russian interests in African countries, Syria and the Donbass with weapons. But the head of this mercenary army, the businessman Yevgueni Prigozhin, has turned against his former ally. On Friday he called for a rebellion against the military chiefs and this Saturday his men, 25,000 according to him, took control of Rostov-on-Don, the headquarters of the southern command of the Russian army, and headed towards Moscow, about a thousand kilometers to the north.

“Today, the world saw that the heads of Russia do not control anything. Nothing at all. Complete chaos. Total absence of any predictability. First, the world should not be afraid. We know what protects us. Our unity Ukraine will definitely be able to protect Europe from any Russian force, and it doesn’t matter who commands them.
The security of the eastern flank of Europe depends solely on our defense. Ukrainian soldiers, Ukrainian weapons, Ukrainian tanks, Ukrainian missiles are all that protect Europe from marches like the ones we see on Russian soil today.
Second, everything must be real. It is time for everyone in the world to say frankly that all of Russia’s criminal actions against Ukraine were and are without provocation. And we all have to focus exclusively on our common security priorities. NATO is not just a word or a set of formal promises. These are reliable guarantees for all that peace will not be destroyed. Without Ukraine, such guarantees are worthless. Already in July at the Vilnius summit, it is a historic opportunity to make real decisions without looking at Russia. Any nation that borders Russia supports this.
What will we Ukrainians do? We will defend our country. We will defend our freedom. We will not remain silent and we will not be inactive. We know how to win, and it will happen. Our victory in this war. And you Russians, what will you do? The longer his troops remain on Ukrainian soil, the more devastation they will bring to Russia. The longer this person is in the Kremlin, the more disasters there will be.”
