Moscow mayor urges people to avoid trips around the city
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin on Saturday asked people to refrain from trips around the city as far as possible given a counter-terrorism operation had been declared and said the situation was “difficult.”
Sobyanin also said in a statement that Monday would be a non-working day – with some exceptions – in order ‘to minimize risks.’
He issued the statement as mutinous Wagner mercenary fighters appeared to be continuing to drive towards Moscow from southern Russia.
