Various news agencies are reporting that Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner mercenary group, is leading an uprising against Vladimir Putin and the Russian military. Is it a coup? Maybe! Prigozhin is saying it's a "justice march" and Putin is calling it an “armed mutiny,” and it's not really 100 percent clear what is happening at all.

Prigozhin has said that the Wagner group has taken over Russia's military headquarters in Rostov-on-Don. The mercenary group has been moving through Russia and is headed towards Moscow.

This comes after both a longstanding feud and a recent incident in which Prigozhin claims his 2000 of his soldiers were attacked by the Russian military. Prigozhin and Putin used to be quite close, as prior to the 2016 founding of the Wagner group, Putin frequently used Prigozhin's catering company for official state events - earning Prigozhin the nickname "Putin's Chef."

As of right now, Putin has reportedly fled Moscow and has vowed to put down the mutiny ... at some point.
