Ministry of Foreign Affairs advised Israeli citizens to consider the necessity of their arrival in Russia

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs advised Israeli citizens to consider the necessity of their arrival in Russia. In addition, he called on Israeli citizens in Russia to consider not staying in the country and to avoid getting close to hot spots. This is due to the Wagner group's attempt to rebel against Putin's rule and the attempts of the mercenary organization to advance to Moscow.
The ministry advised Israelis to keep up to date with developments through the media, the social networks of the Israeli missions in Russia, and the website of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In addition, he informed that the situation center at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is available for inquiries and assistance at all hours of the day.
Yesterday, the commander of the Russian mercenary group "Wagner" accused the Ministry of Defense of Russia of killing dozens of his fighters in shelling in Ukraine, and promised to take revenge with an unprecedented escalation in the prolonged conflict between Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner group, and the heads of the regular army. During the night, he claimed that his soldiers had crossed the border into Russia and that they were ready to "go all the way" against the army leadership.
In the meantime, the forces of the Wagner group continue to advance, towards Moscow and have entered the Lipetsk district. In the morning Prigozhin's forces took over two large cities in the south of the country, after crossing the border from Ukraine. His fighters took over the army bases and security facilities in Rostov and Voronezh located in the southwest of the country, not far from the border with Ukraine. Putin compared the rebellion that broke out during the war in Ukraine to the revolution and civil war in Russia that broke out during the First World War.
