Russian flags are being torn down from the graves of Wagner Group mercenaries after the Wagner PMC mutiny led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, according to a video published on social media on July 3.

The video’s publisher said that at first some people took down flags adorned with the Wagner Group logo from graves in Vladivostok, and then they cut the Russian flags from their poles.

"Terrible, it's just terrible. What is going on?” a voice on the video can be heard saying.

“The Wagner PMC flags are taken down. The Russian ones are cut off. Who can do this? What's for? All flags are cut. It's horrible... They just tore down the flags. This is Vladivostok. The marine cemetery... Someone tore down the flags of the Wagner PMC, cut the Russian flags... I don't even know…"
