Planned combat work continues at the headquarters of the group of troops in Rostov-on-Don: the blocking of the headquarters building by PMCs did not affect the course of the special military operation.

There are no Wagner representatives in the combat command and control group, command and control of troops in the NVO zone is under the control of the RF Armed Forces.

Army General Sergei Surovikin and Colonel General Alexei Kim are at their workplace, and Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseev, First Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of the General Staff, is also at work.

The only thing is that Shoigu and Gerasimov are not at the headquarters of the Southern Military District — yes. But this is well known.

"March of justice" PMC "Wagner" to Moscow
what is known as of 15.00

Columns of PMC "Wagner" passed the village of Yelets in the Lipetsk region. Information about the total number of vehicles and personnel in the columns varies — someone talks about 150 pieces of equipment, someone — about 400 units in four separate columns.

▪️From Yelets to Moscow, 340 kilometres in a straight line, without taking into account the terrain and roadblocks. The main checkpoints and positions of law enforcement agencies are located near the bridge across the Oka at the entrances to Moscow and on the M4 highway.

▪️Individual speakers and individuals either declare in the media about the need to introduce martial law, or they refute themselves. Roskomnadzor’s statements do not add clarity: despite interruptions in the work of Telegram, the RKN (RosKomNadzor — Russian Controlling and Regulating organisation) declares that there are no blockings. But at the same time, they make clarifications that this is possible in the areas of the CTO (Counter Terrorism Operation), which now includes Moscow.

▪️ PMC detachments did not enter Voronezh itself — some moved to a detour through the east of the region, and some along the bypass road. Footage of the Ka-52 operating with the "Vikhr" complexes using the PMC technique appeared on the Web, but it is not known exactly when the incident occurred.

▪️At the entrance to Rostov-on-Don, Chechen detachments "Akhmat" were seen, which were sent to disperse the rebels. The work of the headquarters of the Southern Military District continues as usual: PMC detachments blocked only the approaches to it and demanded that local residents not come closer than 2 km to the building. An explosive package was used to disperse the crowds, several warning shots were fired into the air.

▪️PMC detachments blocked the entrance to the city from Taganrog.

▪️There were no more new statements from the Kremlin or the Russian Ministry of Defence on the current situation.

The population of Rostov continues to conflict because of PMC "Wagner"

Supporters and opponents of PMCs arrange verbal skirmishes and the fighters take away the dissatisfied.

A checkpoint broken through by a PMC column on the M4 highway near the Ikorets River south of Voronezh.

Similar checkpoints are now being built on the border of the Tula and Moscow regions. There is also the line where the rebellious columns of PMCs must be stopped at all costs.

In addition to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the troops of the Russian Guard and units of conscripts, additional units of the Russian Defence Ministry with equipment from the regions have been deployed to Moscow from the regions by military transport aircraft.

Counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: Orekhovsky sector
situation as of 17.00 June 24, 2023

While the whole world is watching the rebellion of the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin and the "march of justice" to Moscow, active hostilities continue at the front. And the most intense pressure falls on the Orekhovsky area.

▪️Ukrainian formations advanced 1.5 km north of Rabotino, taking footholds. Reinforcements of special forces from among the 22nd detachment of the Special Forces and the 45th detachment of the Special Forces of the Airborne Forces were transferred to the site to help the infantry units, which, under pressure from the enemy, were forced to retreat.

In the event that the Russian troops succeed in regrouping and seizing the initiative, it is possible to close the advancing enemy groups into a "cauldron" north of Rabotino — at least the RF Armed Forces have enough forces and means in the area.

▪️According to the Archangel of the Spetsnaz, an accumulation of enemy infantry was detected near Nesteryanka: after a successful fire defeat, the Ukrainian formations were dispersed.

▪️Five Hats are still partly in the grey zone, partly under the control of the enemy. There is no confident control of the RF Armed Forces over the settlement, the Russian infantry is working on enemy reinforcements trying to move forward.

🔻In general, there are too many problems in the Zaporozhye direction, so the fighters, to put it mildly, do not pay much attention to the rebellious marches in the rear.

⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ Message from the press service of the President of the Republic of Belarus.

This morning, Russian President Vladimir Putin briefed his Belarusian counterpart on the situation in southern Russia with the private military company Wagner. The heads of state agreed on joint actions.
As a follow-up to the agreements, the President of Belarus, having additionally specified the situation through his own channels, and in agreement with the President of Russia, held talks with the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Negotiations continued throughout the day. As a result, they came to agreements on the inadmissibility of unleashing a bloody massacre on the territory of Russia. Yevgeny Prigozhin accepted the proposal of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko to stop the movement of armed persons of the Wagner company on the territory of Russia and take further steps to de-escalate tensions.

At the moment, on the table is an absolutely profitable and acceptable option for solving the situation, with security guarantees for the Wagner PMC fighters.

As previously reported, also during today, the President of Belarus held two meetings with the power bloc of the country on this situation.

They wanted to dissolve PMC "Wagner". On June 23rd we set out on the “March of Justice”. In one day we walked and did not manage 200 km to Moscow.
During this time we have not shed a single drop of the blood of our fighters.

Now is the moment when blood can be shed. Aware of the responsibility of Russian blood being spilled on one side, we turn our columns around and head in the opposite direction to the encampments, according to the plan.

Yevgeny Prigozhin

“Boys, load up, go home!” Detachments of the Wagnerites are preparing to withdraw from the centre of Rostov. Gathering things and getting into cars.

I watched the president's speech, read the news. If you think about it and try to look at everything with the information that has been in the public domain all this time, then all this has matured for a long time. Prigozhin's only demand was: to call to account those who killed so many of his people (I am silent about the cases in Syria and Africa).

Why it was impossible to sit down and agree with our own, but it became necessary to send aircraft to PMC columns, I don’t know. Just get in touch and meet. Just yesterday. As a result: 2 people or a lot of victims, right up to the Civil War? In my opinion the choice was obvious.

And in my opinion, it is logical that after so many “overturnings” (Palmyra/Africa/shells/closure of access to Frunzenskaya/ignoring the application to the investigative committee) Prigogine had no other options. They didn’t understand him well, so he will do it differently. It seems like he clearly indicated that they are going after two people, but if someone gets in their way, they will be destroyed. I can state that he keeps his words (no matter what emotions I experience). Yes, it is not democratic, but he has already tried to be democratic.

I still hope it doesn't spill over into something bigger.

This is what is on the surface and should be clear if you turn off emotions. I think the reality is much deeper in this whole story and is hidden from the eyes of the average layman.

It can still be stopped and negotiated.
Just two important names need to get in touch with PMC Wagner.

A few photos to remind you how it was.

Join us 👉@TrFormer

3 x Mi-8mtpr (no weapon at all)
1 x Mi-8
1 x Ka-52
1 x Mi-35
1 x IL-18(22) VZPU (no weapon at all)

A total of 13 pilots were killed today.

Colleagues of the crew suggested that there were 8 people in Il-18.

I already thought that the mutiny was slowly acquiring the features of a conspiracy, because the aviation was far from working at full capacity, although pilots were dying for real, but that’s it.
They were negotiating...

Who is responsible for that? Somehow I do not think, that Wagners... They were shooting anything that flies. As a commander of a platoon of MANPADS in reserve (of the Soviet Army) I can understand that.

After all, Prigozhin did not take an oath. He is a businessman, who is taking responsibility for his employees. He is not an officer, not even a military man (ex jail-bird, as a matter of fact). And those two — Shoigu and Gerasimov — are officers, generals, they should have taken it as privilege to risk their lives for the country, which has been feeding them and their families very generously for the past decades. Their deputies have stayed in Rostov and were communicating with Prigozhin quite amicably. If they would stay there, probably they would not have been shot in an instance. But they would have prevented the risk of a civil war and all those unnecessary victims...

"Exam for maturity": Russia has overcome the turning point of the SMO
RIA Novosti

The past day will go down in history as one of the most formidable in the history of Russia. It could be the beginning of the end for the country we knew. Russia found itself in the face of a danger that claimed millions of lives a century ago.
The details of what happened will be known later, but the main thing is clear so far: the civil war, which with a high degree of probability could turn into yesterday's events, was avoided. The country has managed to learn the lessons of the bloody past.
Never before has an enemy been able to crush Russia from the outside. Her worst troubles began from within. It seemed that today we are witnessing similar processes: at least, the reaction of all opponents in the West and in Ukraine convinced us of this. Those who yesterday instilled fear in them with one name, stood up against their brothers in arms. And they ended up on the same side of the barricades with the enemies of Russia.

Heroes of Artemovsk and Soledar moved columns to Moscow. There are a dozen historical parallels here, if desired. It’s just that you won’t be able to find glorious pages among them.

Until recently, they, risking their lives, took civilians out from under the shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, shed blood — both their own and someone else's — meter by meter, overcoming the dugouts and trenches of the enemy. And now they were moving along the M4 highway to the heart of Russia. And they stopped two hundred kilometres away.
At the moment, it is known that the parties have agreed on the following: Wagner terminates their march to the capital and leaves Rostov-on-Don. The criminal case against Prigozhin will be dropped and he will be able to leave for Belarus on the word of the president. None of the PMC fighters will be prosecuted. If desired, those who did not participate in the rebellion will be able to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defence.
Of course, it is necessary to draw appropriate conclusions from what happened — the threat that the country is facing is too serious to be ignored. And there is very little time for this. With the Ukrainian counteroffensive unfolding, every day of delay will cost the lives of Russian soldiers.
But the main result of what happened is one. On this day, people from both sides clashed, ready to die for Russia. But they refused to kill each other for her.
In general, June 24 is Youth Day. It is symbolic that it was on this holiday that Russia passed the maturity exam and showed that even in critical situations it is able to find a solution at the negotiating table.

#TransFormatorBuzzes : 💤
Honestly, there are many questions to the Russian MOD and personally to its head. It all have happened not just because of some abstract "treason" or Prigozhin's ambitions — there is a long story preceding the latest events. Those issues were hushed for too long. Hopefully, the positive outcome would be that eventually they will be properly, honestly and transparently addressed.

Biden planned to make a statement about the situation with the Wagner PMCs, but while they were explaining to him who Prigozhin is, the mutiny was already over...
