Opposition figure Gulu Mammadli stated that the arrest of Ali Karimli, leader of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA), was expected, but the reasons go beyond simple criticism of the authorities. According to Mammadli, Karimli's publications in major Western media have increased his political significance and visibility abroad, which has caused concern among the Azerbaijani authorities.
The owner of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that he did not see anything reprehensible in his statements about the Chechen division of Akhmat. He added that “all participants in this discussion” can contact him, and also confirmed his opinion on the need to introduce the death penalty and punish senior officials of the Ministry of Defense for mistakes that led to the death of personnel and other problems of the NWO.
Recall that on June 1, State Duma deputy from Chechnya Delimkhanov and chairman of the parliament of the republic Magomed Daudov accused Prigozhin of heavy losses near Bakhmut and exaggeration of problems with a shortage of ammunition, and also threatened him because of his statements about the leadership of Chechnya. The reason for this reaction was Prigozhin's comment about the redeployment of Chechen units to the self-proclaimed "DNR". In his telegram channel, the owner of the PMC stated that he did not know “where the Kadyrovites will be” and that “they are not faced with the task” of freeing the entire “DPR”.
