Why is Wagner mercenary force fighting against Russia’s military?
The Wagner Group is a private military company with a network of mercenaries.
The Group consists of 50,000 fighters.
The Wagner chief (Prigozhin) on Friday accused Russia’s Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu of ordering a rocket attack on Wagner’s field camps.
The Wagner chief on Saturday claimed his forces were in control of military sites in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don.
“This is not a military coup but a march of justice,” Prigozhin declared.
He has repeatedly complained that the Russian military failed to supply Wagner with sufficient ammunition to capture Bakhmut.
Prigozhin accuses Russian military leaders of incompetence.
Prigozhin has also accused the Russian Defence Ministry of trying to steal Wagner’s glory.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned the rebellion, saying it was “a stab in the back of our country and our people”.
