A man was seen cleaning the street in Rostov, Russia, on Saturday as an armed convoy of Wagner Group mercenaries passes by, reportedly on their way to oust President Vladimir Putin.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows the man sweeping the sidewalk while the armored vehicles pass by. He appears to be oblivious to the convoy, which is reportedly carrying fighters.

This incident brought back memories of Khing Hnin Wai, the fitness instructor from Myanmar, who was filmed dancing in the street as a military coup took place in her country.

Meanwhile, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group in Russia, expressed his determination to completely oust the military leadership in Moscow due to their handling of the war. He accused his allies of shelling his troops and announced the dispatch of an armed convoy consisting of 25,000 fighters on a 1,200-km (750-mile) journey towards Moscow, vowing that they were all prepared to sacrifice their lives. Prigozhin, 62, conveyed this message in an audio recording, following his earlier accusations against the Russian top brass for attacking his forces.
In response to Prigozhin’s statement, heightened security measures were implemented in Moscow, with critical facilities receiving reinforced protection. The situation remains tense as the nation braces itself for potential further developments.
