STORYLINE:

STANDUP (English): YUAN XINFANG, Xinhua correspondent
"This is Yuan Xinfang from Xinhua News Agency. I'm reporting from Moscow. Russia's Defense Ministry on Saturday urged Wagner fighters to surrender after the private military group was accused of attempting to launch an armed rebellion."

On the same day, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian Armed Forces to neutralize those who organized the armed rebellion of the Wagner private military group.

SOUNDBITE (Russian): VLADIMIR PUTIN, Russian President
"Any internal turmoil is a deadly threat to our statehood, to us as a nation. This is a blow to Russia, to our people. And our actions to protect the motherland from such a threat will be tough.
I urge those who are being dragged into this crime not to make a fatal and tragic mistake, but to make the only right choice -- to stop participating in criminal acts."

Russia's National Anti-terrorism Committee said on Saturday that a counter-terrorist operation regime has been introduced in Moscow city, the Moscow region and the Voronezh region to prevent possible terrorist acts.

In Moscow, security measures have been significantly reinforced. Media reports said that vital facilities, state institutions, and transportation infrastructure have been placed under heightened protection, with police and response units on high alert.
