As a reminder, Prigozhin previously said very positive things about Surovikin and credited him with supporting Wagner in Bakhmut. This video is likely intended to show that there are no cracks in the senior leadership of the Russian military on this.

We are looking at the footage leading to the claimed Wagner Declaration of War against the Russian Ministry of Defence.

We want to advise everyone to stay calm and don't overreact.

Would not be the first time everything was overexaggerated.

RT @MT_Anderson: 🇷🇺OLENYA AIR BASE🇷🇺
0.5M📷 from 23 June 2023 (08:27 UTC). With missiles reportedly launched from strategic bombers out of Olenya, here is the flight line this morning. No Tu-160 but 15x Tu-95 and a handful of Tu-22.

The other General who made a statement is Deputy Chief of the GRU/GU Vladimir Alekseev. Rybar says that he played a key role in the formation of many PMCs, oversaw contracts signed between the MoD and PMCs, and worked with Wagner early on and in Syria. 2/

These two generals should have greater credibility among Wagner professionals, and, unlike other Russian generals, neither of them has received much criticism during this war from pro-Russia channels. 3/

Vladimir Alekseyev, another once Wagner-friendly general:

"This is a stab in the back of the country and the president. Only the president has the right to appoint the military leadership, and you are trying to attack his authority. This is a state coup. Come to your senses!" https://t.co/Zz7QRqZ1AM

The FSB calls on Wagner fighters to resist Prigozhin's orders, detain him. "Irreparable mistakes must be avoided" the FSB stated

The Russian Government is using all available State Media Resources to counter Prigozhin's claims and influence in the Public and in the Wagner Group

Interesting historical fact. The last time there was a coup in Moscow, in 1991, Surovikin led an armored column that killed three protestors in the city and was put in jail for several months. He was released by Boris Yeltsin.
