Putin has reportedly fled Russia as the Wagner group’s armed coup attempt rages on in Russia. Good think we are teaching our military how to be woke instead of how to battle the enemy, am I right?
“All those who deliberately stepped on the path of betrayal, who prepared an armed insurrection, who took the path of blackmail and terrorist methods, will suffer inevitable punishment, will answer both to the law and to our people,” Putin told the public of Prigozhin’s private militia’s fledgling mutiny that is inching toward the capital.
Although the Kremlin denies that Putin abandoned Moscow, the presidential plane has since mysteriously dropped off flight radars.
As the Wagner Group mutiny closes in on the Russian capital, officials are said to be restricting communications and the movement of vehicles and pedestrians.
Photos from the city on Saturday show authorities closing down main roads, even as residents still roam the streets.
Also on Saturday, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin declared Monday, June 26 a non-working holiday in anticipation of military unrest.
