Wagner boss launches march on Moscow as he calls for Putin's 'evil' army chiefs to be stopped
Russia's FSB security service has opened a criminal case against Prigozhin for calling for an armed mutiny, the TASS news agency said on Friday, citing the National Anti-terrorism Committee.Earlier on Friday, Prigozhin stepped up his attack on the Russian Defence Ministry, saying that the Kremlin's rationale for invading Ukraine was based on lies concocted by the army's top brass.
He went on to release a series of audio messages on his official Telegram channel, saying: "The minister of defence has ordered 2,000 bodies that are being stored to be hidden so as not to show the losses." He added: "Those who destroyed our lads, who destroyed the lives of many tens of thousands of Russian soldiers, will be punished. I ask that no one offer resistance...Prigozhin has been openly accusing Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Russia's top general, Valery Gerasimov, of rank incompetence and of denying his forces ammunition and support for months.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been informed about the situation, adding that "all the necessary measures were being taken".
