Wagner took city without firing a single shot – Prigozhin
We’ve been reporting that the rebelling Wagner Group mercenaries have claimed they now control Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia.
In a new audio message posted on Wagner’s Telegram page, Yevgeny Prigozhin claims his troops took the city “without a single shot being fired [by us]”.
He also claims residents of Rostov-on-Don were supporting his troops because of their continuing “justice march”.
Russia’s state-run media has broadcast footage apparently showing Rostov residents arguing with Wagner troops and urging them to obey orders by President Vladimir Putin.
The claims have not been independently verified.
