The head of the Russian mercenary group Wagner has issued what sounds like a declaration of war against his country's top military officials. Yevgeny Prigozhin posted an audio message accusing the army of launching strikes on his troops.
In a separate video clip, he said Moscow's invasion of Ukraine was based on lies by the military leadership.
His Wagner group spearheaded Russia's capture of the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut last month - a battlefield success that has allowed him to criticize Moscow with impunity.
The main target of Prigozhin's tirade is the Russian defense minister.
