The mercenaries have left – the Wagner uprising in 25 photos A quarter of the world’s workers want to change jobs

Wagner chief mercenary Yevgeny Prigozhin openly opposed the Russian leadership, marched on Moscow – and after a harsh response from Putin and mediation from Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko, called off everything again. The chaos in Russia in 25 photos.

Uprising in Rostov

Wagner mercenaries occupied military facilities in Rostov-on-Don on the morning of June 24. The city of 1.1 million is home to the headquarters of the Russian army for the south of the country, from where the offensive in Ukraine is being monitored.
