Vladimir Putin finds himself in a significant military crisis as Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of a Russian mercenary group known as the Wagner Group, has declared war against the country's own defence ministry. Prigozhin claims to have withdrawn his troops from Ukraine and relocated them to Rostov-on-Don, a city in southern Russia. There is a lack of verifiable evidence regarding Prigozhin's claims about Wagner troops entering Rostov, and he has not presented proof of the alleged troop movements. The feud between Prigozhin and Russia's defence ministry has been escalating for months and now seems to have reached a critical point. Ukraine's defence ministry acknowledged the developments in a tweet, indicating their monitoring of the situation.
