It seems Lukashenko has managed to get to an agreement with Prigozhin and stop the march. In my opinion, it’s the best that could have happened, I don’t want to see any bloodshed, but Prigozhin needs to go, he cannot remain, I don’t know how this can be achieved, because a too harsh punishment can still trigger Wagner, but I hope Wagner gets banned and incorporated into the Russian army and Prigozhin faces the wall. There’s no name to what did, to betray your country, your brothers, to threaten world order for money.
Message from the press service of the President of the Republic of Belarus:
This morning, Russian President Vladimir Putin briefed his Belarusian counterpart on the situation in southern Russia with the private military company Wagner. The heads of state agreed on joint actions.
As a follow-up to the agreements, the President of Belarus, having additionally specified the situation through his channels, and in agreement with the President of Russia, held talks with the head of PMC Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Negotiations continued throughout the day. As a result, they agreed on the inadmissibility of unleashing a bloody massacre on the territory of Russia. Yevgeny Prigozhin accepted the proposal of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko to stop the movement of armed persons of the Wagner company on the territory of Russia and take further steps to de-escalate tensions.
At the moment, an absolutely profitable and acceptable option for solving the situation is on the table, with security guarantees for the Wagner PMC fighters.
As previously reported, also during today, the President of Belarus held two meetings with the power bloc of the country on this situation.
They are in Rostov and I think they are stealing supplies from there, but I’m unsure how much could that work, since in theory the Akhmat are in the exiting areas of the city it would be hard to get out.
I think one of their strategies according to some telegram channels is to raid nuclear weapons storages, and I don’t think Wagner would end the war in Ukraine, they would probably continue it and adopt an even more right-wing stance in the government. I don’t think this benefits anyone in the long run, even if it’s beneficial for Ukraine right now.
Those are not Akhmat, those are civilians, Slavyngrad posted pictures of them and from other angle you can see they don’t have any gear, even in that video you can kind of see they have regular tshirts.
I’ve seen they are moving resources to Moscow, which as you said, maybe it’s better to stop them before they’re too close to the capital, but I guess it also allows for having a better force waiting for them. Regarding the missiles videos, I don’t know.
“Two weeks before the Wagner mutiny, regular soldiers on the front line received letters from people, in their words, “working in the interests of PMCs.” They offered to pay for dirt on the army.
And this Friday they offered to “choose a side” and report on the orders received.
Photo correspondence from familiar Spetsnaz. We worked with them more than once, I have no doubts about the authenticity. The question is, did they write the truth about PMCs or is it the work of the TsIPSO’s paws (which, in my opinion, is more likely), which are now spinning the crisis with might and main in their favor. Both options play into the hands of the enemy only.
Do you have a link to them detaining Akhmat forces?
Could be, maybe they are just trying to delay them without engaging in conflict until they get to a certain zone. They put some trucks to block the road and left the place, and they are digging holes in the road and will likely left the place too. I hope you are wrong, though, I honestly can’t believe soldiers would be so traitorous.
While this is certainly an inconvenience and it plays in favour of the West, I don’t see how Wagner plans to achieve something real here. How are they going to resupply? Is NATO going to drop munitions with magic? Wagner gets resupplied by the MoD, how long do they think they can advance without running out? And if they start attacking in civilian areas, specially Moscow, popular support among soldiers and the people will go downwards for Wagner as if it wasn’t low enough now.
I don’t mean ending the war like that, what I meant is mobilising more soldiers, more airstrikes, etc. I just think Russia has been playing not as strongly as they can to deplete the West’s arsenal, which I think makes sense it was a good move, but now I would rather see it unfold in a faster manner. Maybe I don’t have as much intel on Russia’s capabilities and all of that and it’s not feasible, it’s just what I’d like to see.
