UK, Poland "closely monitoring" situation in Russia

Cleverly commented on the issue on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

"Following events overnight involving the Wagner group and the Russian military, we are monitoring the situation carefully and liaising closely with our allies," he wrote.

Also, the advisor to the President of Poland, Pawel Salek, told Radio Poland on Saturday that the situation in the Russian Federation is also being monitored by Warsaw.

In particular, Salek mentioned the Bureau of National Security and the Bureau of International Policy, as well as Poland's allies, who monitor the latest developments in the aggressor state.

Andrzej Duda's advisor added that the Polish leader was also informed about recent events in the Russian Federation.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on the morning of June 24, tensions between Wagner Group and Russia’s defense ministry spilled into a full-on military confrontation. Wagner’s units have seized administrative and military headquarters in Rostov before moving to seize Voronezh on their declared path to reach Moscow.

For the first time on record, Prigozhin also openly expressed his disagreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, commenting on his address to the nation. Previously, Prigozhin used to stop short of criticizing the Russian president.
