TL;DR: This is insane! The head of the Wagner Group, a private military company, initiates a coup against the Russian Federation. The aim is to remove the Russian Defense Minister and the Chief of the General Staff. The video also reveals the alleged reasons behind Russia's war with Ukraine (ego and greed) and the corruption within the Russian army. The Russian Ministry of Defense responds by launching a criminal investigation against the Wagner Group and taking measures to prevent the coup.

So Wagner are taking on the evil Russian army who started the war with Ukraine. They will vanquish them by marching to moskow and installing Putin as King of Russia.

Have I got that right?
