The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement regarding the attempted mutiny. The corresponding post appeared in the telegram channel of the department. We publish the full text of the statement. The attempt of an armed rebellion that took place in our country causes sharp rejection in the Russian society, which strongly supports the President of the Russian Federation, V.V. Putin. The adventuristic aspirations of the conspirators, in fact, are aimed at destabilizing the situation in Russia, destroying our unity, and undermining the efforts of the Russian Federation aimed at ensuring reliable international security. Thus, the rebellion plays into the hands of Russia’s external enemies. We warn the Western countries against any hints about the possible use of the domestic situation in Russia to achieve their Russophobic goals. Such attempts are futile and will not find a response either in Russia or among sensible political forces abroad. We are convinced that in the near future the situation will find its solution, worthy of the age-old wisdom of the Russian people and the Russian state. All goals and objectives of the special military operation will be fulfilled. Our country will continue its sovereign course to ensure its security, protect its values, strengthen its prestige in the international arena, and form a just multipolar world order. We highly appreciate the understanding of this principled position by our allies and foreign partners, which we are already now fully aware of.

What’s happening in Rostov-on-Don
The head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has announced a strike on the camps of the units, blamed the military for this, and announced a “march of justice.” At night, it became known that PMC units entered Rostov. Vladimir Putin, in his address, called the situation in the city difficult, saying that the work of civil and military authorities in connection with an attempted “military rebellion” in the city was “actually blocked” There is no reliable information about what is happening in Rostov-on-Don. A local correspondent, reports says no one is allowed to go to the headquarters of the Southern Military District. Earlier, Prigozhin said that PMC units occupied all military facilities in the city. “Resolute actions will also be taken to stabilize the situation in Rostov-on-Don. She remains complex. In fact, the work of civilian and military authorities is blocked,” President Putin said. The Governor of the Rostov Region Vasily Golubev urged people to refrain from traveling to the center of Rostov-on-Don and, if possible, not to leave their homes. Kommersant cites the following story from its correspondent Vadim Vodolazov: “The headquarters of the Southern Federal District is located in the very center of Rostov, the complex of buildings occupies an entire block. Armed people in field uniforms and equipment, including a tank, armored personnel carriers and armored vehicles, are dispersed around the quarter. It can be seen that she was right from the front – all covered in mud, rumpled, there are marks from fragments. Military without identification uniforms. Many have white armbands on their forearms. In total, visually they are around the headquarters within 150 people. They behave neutrally towards citizens. Questions are answered reluctantly, but politely. In conversations with citizens who have gathered near the headquarters of the district, the military does not hide their belonging to the Wagner group. To the question “What happened?” one of them replied, “The circumstances were such that we were forced to come to you.” I asked “How long are you here?” The soldier said “We’ll see.” I clarified “Until there is an order?”. “Yes,” he replied. Several hundred Rostovites are at the scene of the events. People with curiosity, but quietly watching what is happening. Taking pictures, taking selfies. The Wagnerites are well disposed.”
Read an Interesting hidden story you don’t know about Tongo-Raana Kolbilsong Namalteng and a nick name he was called in the past
The Paramount Chief of the Talensi Traditional Area, Tongo-Raana Kolbilsong Namalteng has shared an interesting story about his young age and how he was given the name ‘Baba Yara’ by his colleagues because of his envious football skills. The story told by the Talensi Paramount Chief was so interesting, but unfortunately, his love of playing football was disorganized because his father believes football at the time was an unproductive venture and a waste of children’s time. I have a small story to tell, when I was growing up very young, my father was working down south on the railways in Dunkwa, a very Cosmopolitan town in the central region. The short story of the Chief captured how the Paramount Chief at a young age always jumped out through the window with the assistance of his friends especially anytime the father who then was a railway worker always locked him inside the room and went to work all just to prevent him from going out to play football with his friends. Tongo Raana, in his short story, was making a point that football has changed for good. According to him, in the past those who played football had nothing to boast about unlike today, football has become an attractive profession to every family. Below is short interesting story about the Paramount Chief of the Talensi Traditional Area, Tongo-Raana Kolbilsong Namalteng “I grew up playing football very well and called me Baba Yara at that time. I was the captain of the children’s team in the railways quarters area and every Saturday or weekend we played matches. And being the captain I was required to be present in all the matches but my father was an air service man who wouldn’t want to hear anything about football. So, on Saturday, because he knew I will go and play football, he will lock me in his room and imprisoned me. But because he will leave for work my football friends will come and knock on the window and ask me to open the window so that I will pass through the window and join them to go and play football. This was happening and anytime we have to play a match, I have to pass through the window to go and play football and they have scouts watching the way for me. So, if my father was returning to the house, they will quickly inform me and I will immediately take off at full speed and go and jump through the window, enter, and lie down as if I hadn’t gone anywhere. But this man was so clever, what he will do is, first of all, to come and inspect my legs and you know this was railways, the whole ground was black and look at me, a fair person like me will go and play football with black shorts what do you think i will get? All my body will be dusty. So, I will just jump on top of the roof, there was a path there and there was some cane he kept for me, he will take it and cane me well. Now, why was this man doing this? in our time, football wasn’t attractive and it has nothing. So, why would you stop learning and be playing football and they call you Baba Yara? He didn’t care about that and indeed, the name Baba Yara was one of the footballers in Ghana in the 60s but they didn’t get anything out of football”. In fact, most of the footballers in the past, never gain anything but as time went by and as time changed, today football is seen as a profession, football is seen as something that can grow fast as a kind of full event that can help everybody. Therefore, I am giving you this story of mine to tell you that, today’s football is different from the football of our time”.
