PMC Wagner to hand over heavy military equipment to units of the RF Armed Forces – Ministry of Defense

Preparations are underway for the transfer of heavy military equipment from PMC Wagner to units of the RF Armed Forces. It is reported by TASS with reference to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Earlier, the Belarus Gayun project reported that the business jet of Yevgeny Prigozhin landed at the Machulishchi military airfield near Minsk.

On the night of June 24, the head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, began the “March of Justice” against Moscow. This was preceded by a statement that the places of deployment of his fighters were fired upon by the forces of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The Ministry of Defense denies this information. On June 24, PMC fighters entered Rostov-on-Don, and also moved towards the capital through the Voronezh and Lipetsk regions. During the advance, the mercenaries destroyed at least two combat helicopters and one aircraft; the losses of the Russian army as a result of a military mutiny could range from 4 to 20 people. On the evening of June 24, a Ka-52 Alligator helicopter was reported shot down near the Voronezh village of Komintern and two dead pilots. Less than a day later, Prigozhin deployed his columns, the press service of Alexander Lukashenko immediately released material stating that this was done by the "agreement" of the Belarusian leader with the head of the PMC. Prigogine later confirmed this information. Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov promised that the founder of PMC Wagner would "leave for Belarus."
