The Wagner Group's 24-hour power grab in Russia

After months of provocation, Wagner Group Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin finally went on the offensive against the Kremlin on June 23, before abruptly ending his rebellion. The rebellion of Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner Group Russian mercenaries took the Kremlin by surprise. In just a few hours, Wagner troops seized the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don on June 23, 2023. Some mercenaries even advanced as far as Voronezh, 450 kilometers south of the Russian capital. On the outskirts of this town, the mercenaries exchanged fire with the Russian military. At the Kremlin's request on Saturday, June 24, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a key Putin ally, entered into negotiations with Prigozhin. The head of the Wagner Group finally recalled his men, leaving Rostov-on-Don on Saturday evening to the cheers of some of the locals.
