Prigozhin’s Wagner Enters Lipetsk Region On Road To Moscow

The mercenaries are in the Lipetsk province, approximately 225 miles south of Moscow.

This means Wagner have advanced more than 200 miles since the start of the day.

Authorities “are taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety of the population”, said Lipetsk governor Igor Artamonov.

“The situation is under control,” he said, having told residents to stay indoors earlier today. 

Pictures show the convoy travelling along the M4 highway earlier today.
