**In Ukraine, a weekend of skirmishes highlights tensions between Russian military and Wagner mercenaries. Despite some successful attacks, the most shocking news involved the arrest of a Russian commander by Wagner forces.**
Over the weekend, armed skirmishes between Russian and Ukrainian forces continued to escalate. Ukrainian forces launched an incursion into Russia’s Belgorod region, capturing a few prisoners of war. Although militarily insignificant, such actions serve as a PR victory for Ukraine. Additionally, the country’s first real counterattack took place in the Zaporozhye region, leading to losses on both sides.
Russian forces also made advancements in the Kupyansk region, forcing Ukrainian Defense Forces (AFU) to postpone their planned attack on Svatovo. However, the most alarming news came from Yevgeny Prigozhin, CEO of Wagner PMC, known for their controversial mercenary activities. Reports stated that Wagner forces arrested a Russian commander of the 72nd Brigade for mining roads and opening fire on their personnel and armored car.
**As violence grows across the region, the tensions between Russian Defense Ministry and PMC Wagner expose potential cracks in the Russian-led front lines. Open hostilities like these further complicate an already tense situation and risk destabilizing the region.**
