In Russia, criminals are in charge. Nothing new here.
I don’t foresee this ending well…
Second power in the world😆
The videos are absolutely horrible. One guy with an unholy amount of blood on his face, being held up with a knife to his throat, another of someone stabbing a guard and the room is littered with corpses.
Seems like ISIS
They’re going to have to handle that one themselves. Ukraine can’t do everything.
It’s the second hostage situation to have taken place in the southern Russian maximum security prison in Volgograd this summer.
This the Russian definition of maximum security.
More like rocky security.
Or precarious security.
The Russian state is losing its legitimacy by the day
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/08/23/inmates-in-russias-volgograd-region-take-prison-guards-hostage-a86125) reduced by 74%. (I’m a bot)

> Inmates at a prison in southern Russia's Volgograd region have seized control of the facility and taken hostages, with multiple prison staff members injured, state media reported Friday, citing Russia's prison service.
> Prison authorities told the RIA Novosti news agency that the inmate uprising took place at the IK-19 Surovikino penal colony, located around 120 kilometers west of the region's capital city Volgograd. An unverified video shared by news channels on the Telegram message app purported to show inmates at the penal colony standing above bloodied prison guards.
> President Vladimir Putin said later in the day that he had been informed by the head of the prison service about the hostage situation in Volgograd, the second to have taken place in a southern Russian prison this summer.

Waiting for reuters article that russia claims these were some NATO country spies with SIMS hidden in their anus and it was able because Ukrainian agents sabotaged vodka in local stores.
They still have prisoners? But that’s wasting free frontline troops!
Putin hiding deep in that bunker….
don’t worry, russian ‘special’ forces are on it
Cannot imagine this will end well for the prisoners involved
‘Not my fault’
-Putin
I can only imagine how much vengeance they have in their minds.
Remind me of vorkuta uprising
Maybe they can ask Ukraine to sort this out… make sure to say please.
