Summary/Abstract: Good morning, my name is Prigozhin, my armed colleagues, and I am taking control here now.” This or something similar can be heard on the morning of June 24 at the headquarters of Russia's war against Ukraine in Rostov-on-Don. Prigozhin and his armed mercenaries stroll into Russia’s main war HQ without anyone even trying to stop them. The “Wagner” boss talks condescendingly with the deputy defense minister and other generals in a relaxedlooking company. He eventually sends his troops toward Moscow, realizing that his archenemy Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu will not confront him.
