Putin's real task now is to talk to Prigozhin, the "real president" from time to time, and ask him for his instructions...
Escalation in Russia!
First, mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozchin announced on Friday evening that his Wagner troops were taking action against the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Then, on Saturday morning, his fighters captured the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don.
A military convoy continued to move towards Moscow.
But the turnaround was completely surprising: Prigozhin ordered his troops back to their bases. According to the mercenary chief, he wanted to prevent bloodshed.
"Russia is one step closer to its collapse"
Reactions to the attempted coup in Russia have been harsh.
Former Russian MP and pilot of the Soviet Air Force, Viktor Alksnis (73 years old) writes in Telegram: "I must say with sadness that Russia is one step closer to its final and irreversible death."
The politician with the nickname "Black Colonel" goes even further, personally shoots Putin: "Russia today has two presidents - the real President Yevgeny Prigozhin and Vladimir Putin."
Putin's real task now is to talk to Prigozhin, the "real president" from time to time, and ask him for his instructions, according to Alksnis.
"Never in my worst nightmare could I have imagined that I would witness this shame and destruction of my country."
Putin "deliberately destroyed all the institutions of citizenship. Corruption is over with the rest.” Wagner's supporters are militant: "Justice will prevail," he concludes.
Wagner's troupe is known for its brutality and sadism.
Prigozhin is a Russian ultra-nationalist and warmonger. The mercenary force consists of ex-combatants and experienced. In the fall of 2022, Prigozhin began recruiting prisoners from Russian prisons for his squad as well. Including murderers and rapists.
Thousands of former prisoners and butchers organized a coup against the Russian army. Their leader, Prigozhin, has no good intentions for Russia, Ukraine or the West. But his uprising weakens Putin's belligerent regime, and Russia's enemies could take advantage of that.
Prigozhin goes to Belarus with impunity
After Wagner's boss Yevgeny Prigozhin summoned his mercenaries and they had to return to their bases, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced: The proceedings against Prigozhin will be discontinued!
Russia's FSB domestic secret service had launched criminal proceedings against him on Friday evening for "armed insurrection".
The Russian presidential office also announced that Prigozhin will be transferred to Belarus./ Adapted from BILD, Pamphlet
