Wagner soldiers plan to seize nuclear weapons in Voronezh region, says ATESH movement

Wagner units that have entered the Voronezh region of Russia have already reached the outskirts of the city of Borisoglebsk. They plan to take possession of nuclear weapons there.

According to the Crimean guerrillas ATESH, it is in this city that there is a nuclear weapons warehouse known as "375 Object C", which belongs to the 12th Directorate of the Russian Defense Ministry.

ATESH notes that there are few guards at the warehouse, so the Wagners can easily seize it.

"It is likely that we will not be able to defend the warehouse on our own, as there are few military forces and limited financial resources. Successful defense requires a significant number of tanks, artillery and professional motorized infantry. At the very least, a brigade is needed. However, since there are no available troops now, the only way to get reinforcements is to withdraw operational reserves from the front," ATESH writes.

It is noted that the battle for the Voronezh nuclear storage facility is likely to lead to an escalation of clashes between Wagner units and the Russian armed forces.

As a reminder, the founder of the private military company Wagner, Yevhen Prigozhin, accused the Russian regular army of launching a missile attack on the rear camps of its mercenaries. The Russian Ministry of Defense considers this statement a provocation. Prigozhin promised to "punish" those who attacked the rear camps of the private military company. On June 24, Prigozhin's militants seized administrative buildings in Rostov and moved to Voronezh. Prigozhin promised that Wagner's men would reach Moscow and take over.

In his address to Russians on June 24, the Russian president said that the actions of the Wagnerites were aimed at dividing society .
