Good evening. If you're just joining for the first time and want a quick snapshot of what's been going on, here's the key points to get you all caught up:
Wagner paramilitary forces are understood to be driving north on the main highway towards Moscow, where new security measures have been put in place, and local residents told not to travel.
The Kremlin accused the boss of private paramilitary company Wagner of attempting to stage a coup.
Yevgeny Prigozhin insists his forces are "patriots" who have the support of the Russian people.
Prigozhin says Wagner troops captured the Russian army HQ in Rostov-on-Don without firing a shot
In a speech to the nation, Vladimir Putin described Wagner's actions as a "stab in the back."
Ukraine's President Zelenskyy says that in Russia there's "so much chaos, no lie can hide it."
Kremlin official warns about nuclear safety
A senior Kremlin official has warned that a successful rebellion by the Wagner group would mean the mercenaries getting hold of Russia’s vast nuclear arsenal and raise an existential threat to the entire world.
“The history of mankind hasn’t yet seen the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons under control by bandits,” Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council chaired by President Vladimir Putin, said in remarks carried by Russian news agencies. “Such a crisis will not be limited by just one country’s borders, the world will be put on the brink of destruction.”
He added that “we won’t allow such a turn of events.”
Medvedev has frequently used hardline rhetoric since Russia sent troops into Ukraine, regularly reminding the West about Russia’s nuclear arsenal in a bid to discourage the US and its allies from ramping up weapons supplies to Kyiv.
Medvedev described the rebellion as a “well-planned operation aimed at seizing power in the country.” He claimed that some veterans of elite Russian military units and foreign actors could have been involved in it. (AP)
Mayor of Moscow says residents should limit their movements
The mayor of Moscow has advised residents to limit their movements and admitted on Saturday evening that the situation was "difficult" in the Russian capital.
Forces from the Wagner paramilitary group are travelling towards the Russian capital, and the mayor has declared Monday a non-working day to limit travel.
"The situation is difficult," Sergei Sobyanin admitted bluntly. "In order to minimize the risks (...), I have decided to declare Monday a day off", except for certain activities and municipal services, added the mayor.
He called on Muscovites to "limit as much as possible" their movements in the city and warned that traffic could be "blocked" on certain roads and in certain neighborhoods. (AFP)
