The diplomatic rift between Russia and Ukraine has widened as the two countries’ military forces clash in the region.

On Thursday, Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin accused top military brass in the Russian army of “treason” for their role in the ongoing conflict. Prigozhin is the leader of the Wagner Group, a private military contractor that has been testing the Russian war machine in the area.

The Wagner Group has been using pop culture to recruit new Russian fighters in the region, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has been issuing live updates on the situation, including the latest military developments.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been ongoing since 2014, when Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula. Since then, the two countries have been locked in a stalemate, with both sides accusing the other of violating international law.

The situation escalated earlier this year when Russia began to build up its military presence in the region.

The US has condemned the actions of both countries and has called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
