It’s hard to tell exactly what is happening in Russia. But it appears Vladimir Putin’s days may be numbered as the virtual dictator of Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is being challenged now by the head of his Wagner Mercenary Army – Yevgeny Prigozhin – who is furious with Putin over what he says was a strike on his Wagner Training Camp in Bakmut, Ukraine – reportedly killing many of his troops. The latest reports indicate the Wagner Army has occupied two key cities in Russia, and may march on Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nRUSSIA is feared to be on the cusp of a bloody civil war as fierce battles erupt between Putin’s troops and mercenaries from the Wagner Group in an extraordinary armed rebellion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vladimir Putin\u00a0<\/a>is facing\u00a0the biggest challenge<\/a>\u00a0to his iron fist rule since he rose to power in the aftermath of the collapsed Soviet Union and took control of the\u00a0Kremlin<\/a>\u00a0more than two decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin<\/a> vowed to “punish” Russia after he blamed the Kremlin<\/a> for a deadly missile attack on one of his training camps in Bakhmut<\/a>, Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The warlord – a former pal of Putin’s<\/a> – has now led an armed rebellion<\/a> with the stated aim to oust Russia’s military leaders as he turns on the top brass in Moscow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And fighting has now erupted, with Wagner forces seemingly taking control of a military HQ in Rostov-on-Don and seizing facilities further north in Voronezh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The governor of the Lipetsk confirmed the Wagner Group has now entered his region, only 225 miles south of Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
