@just_whatever:
A video has emerged from a person in Rostov which seems like a preliminary confirmation that the city is indeed under Wagner’s control now:

I have added subtitles in English to it:

Я одного не пойму: ну, предположим, на минутку, что повару дали Шойгу с Герасимовым, что он с ними делать будет, кувалдой по голове даст на главной площади Ростова или как? #загадка

The other official is Deputy Chief of the GRU/GU Vladimir Alekseev who was in charge of forming PMCs and coordinating with them for the MoD. Prigozhin clearly wanted to make a point that he isn't subordinate to a Deputy Defense Minister or Deputy Chief of the GRU. 2/

И ещё один, некий генерал-лейтенант Алексеев Владимир Степанович (говорят, мало известный, но влиятельный, речь плохо выучил): Астанавитесь! https://t.me/RtrDonetsk/18498 #ежг #Пригожин #всрф

And Yevkurov is a well-know figure. He was a VDV officer and received the Hero of Russia award for the Dash to Pristina. Prigozhin clearly wants to make clear that he is a higher status than these officials, comparable to Shoigu's level.

@maxseddon:
@AndrKolesnikov In another video posted shortly afterwards, Prigozhin says Wagner controls "the military facilities of Rostov, including the airport," but is not hindering operations in the invasion of Ukraine.

“We do it in such a way that the attack planes do not hit us, but the Ukrainians." https://t.co/kGR8ij9AVu
