The dramatic turn of events began Friday when Prigozhin openly accused Russia’s military of attacking a Wagner camp and killing a “huge amount” of his men. Meanwhile, in region of Voronezh, there was an apparent clash between Wagner units and Russian forces, damaging a number of cars. Videos, authenticated and geolocated by CNN, also showed Prigozhin and Wagner forces withdrawing from their positions at Russian military headquarters in Rostov-on-Don. Meanwhile the open disunity within Russia’s armed forces has been greeted with glee and much schadenfreude in Kyiv. “Obviously they need to see what is actually happening with the disposition of Russian forces along their defensive lines,” he told CNN.
