KanyiDaily recalls that Wagner leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin had mobilized his troops on Friday, accusing the Russian army of launching a rocket attack that allegedly resulted in the deaths of many of his men positions in Ukraine.

On Saturday morning, Prigozhin claimed that his forces had seized control of Russian military facilities in Rostov-on-Don, a crucial operational base for Russia’s involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.

He threatened to march on Moscow unless Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Russia’s top general, Valery Gerasimov, met with him in Rostov.

The Wagner Group also alleged that they had taken over Russian facilities in another city, Voronezh, located approximately 600 kilometers (372 miles) north of Rostov-on-Don.

The governor of the Voronezh region, Alexander Gusev, confirmed that the Russian military was undertaking combat measures in the area.

In a new development, the Atesh partisan movement, composed of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars, alleged that the Wagner PMC has set its sights on a specific target known as “375 Object ‘C'” near Borisoglebsk in Voronezh Oblast.

According to Atesh, which claims to have recruited numerous Russian Army agents, the Wagner Group is currently engaged in an armed rebellion against Russian authorities and is making preparations to seize nuclear weapons depots in Voronezh Oblast.

Atesh cites information provided by one of its agents within the Wagner PMC, who reports that Wagner’s advance units have arrived at the outskirts of Borisoglebsk, Voronezh Oblast.

This city houses a warehouse, referred to as “375 Object ‘C’,” that is under the control of the 12th Chief Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense and stores nuclear weapons.

Atesh claimed that the Russian Army is unlikely to be capable of defending the depot on its own due to a lack of sufficient forces and resources.

They claim that a considerable number of tanks, artillery, and well-trained motorized infantry, at least the size of a brigade, would be required.

However, since no available troops are currently present, the only means of obtaining reinforcements would involve withdrawing operational reserves from the front lines.

Atesh predicted that fighting for control over the Voronezh nuclear depot would likely lead to a further escalation of hostilities between the Wagner PMC and the Russian Ministry of Defense.

“It is unlikely that the Russian Army will be able to defend the depot on their own. There are very few forces and means there. A significant number of tanks, artillery, and motorized professional infantry are required.

“At least a brigade is needed. And since no troops are available right now, the only way to get reinforcements is to remove operational reserves from the front.

“Fighting for the Voronezh nuclear depot will probably lead to increased escalation of hostilities between the PMC and the Russian Ministry of Defense,” Atesh writes.
