Disputedon credible origins that conflict: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.

Prigozhin accused Defence Minister Shoigu of ordering rocket strikes on Wagner field camps, claiming about 2,000 of his fighters were killed without giving evidence, and rejected Moscow's claim that Ukraine had planned an offensive in February 2022. The defence ministry called the accusations untrue and an informational provocation. The FSB opened a criminal case for calling for an armed mutiny, TASS reported citing the National Antiterrorism Committee, and urged Wagner fighters to detain him.
