As a long-running standoff between Prigozhin and the military top brass appeared to come to a head, Russia's FSB security service opened a criminal case against him, TASS news agency said, and it called on fighters from his Wagner private military company to ignore his orders and arrest him. 'OBEY PRESIDENT,' GENERAL SAYS The deputy commander of Russia's Ukraine campaign, General Sergei Surovikin, told Wagner fighters to obey Putin, accept Moscow's commanders and return to their bases. The standoff, many of the details of which remained unclear, looked like the biggest domestic crisis Russian President Vladimir Putin has faced since he sent thousands of troops into Ukraine in February last year. UKRAINE SAYS MAJOR THRUST AHEAD On the ground in Ukraine, at least three people were killed in Russian attacks on Friday, including two who died after a trolleybus company came under fire in the city of Kherson, regional officials said. Although the advances Ukraine has reported this month are its first substantial gains on the battlefield for seven months, Ukrainian forces have yet to push to the main defensive lines that Russia has had months to prepare.
