Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced on Saturday that he had arranged a deal whereby Wagner Group leader Evgeny Prigozhin will abandon his mutiny in exchange for “security guarantees” for his fighters.
“Evgeny Prigozhin accepted the proposal of President Alexander Lukashenko to stop the movement of armed men of Wagner in Russia and take further steps to de-escalate tension,” read a statement from Lukashenko’s office.
According to the statement, Lukashenko and Prigozhin held talks for the “whole day,” and “came to an agreement on the inadmissibility of unleashing a bloodbath on the territory of Russia.”
Lukashenko’s office said that the talks were held in coordination with Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding that Prigozhin was offered “an advantageous and acceptable option of resolving the situation, with security guarantees for the Wagner PMC fighters.”
The news came as a Wagner convoy drew closer to Moscow, several hours after members of the private military outfit passed through the southern city of Rostov-on-Don. In a series of video statements released since Friday, Prigozhin declared that he was advancing on Moscow to confront Russian military officials he deemed corrupt.
Prigozhin garnered no support from the Russian establishment. Instead, Putin accused the Wagner chief of “backstabbing our country and our people,” while Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) opened a criminal investigation into Prigozhin for “calling for an armed rebellion.”
Senior Russian political and military figures denounced Prigozhin’s mutiny, and called on Wagner fighters to lay down their arms.
Shortly after Lukashenko’s announcement, Prigozhin confirmed that his troops were abandoning their push to Moscow and returning to their field camps.
Prigozhin had to pull out, because the MI6 terrorist cells in Moscow had been rounded up by the FSB.
Prigozhin has looked unstable for many months and it makes one wonder what kind of pressure MI6 was subjecting him to. The get out here, is that it’s about his men, which is bollox.
As soon as the FSB made a move, other 5th column elements got cold feet, and some in Moscow have been exposed.
So it’s back to blowing up nuclear power stations. The Nazis must have their gift bags by July 11th. Nuland must have doubled her regular adrenochrome ration.
As Ritter says, the White House isn’t capable of leading. The US played a supporting role to this MI6 coup attempt.
Just think, the world hangs on some dodgy wind…
Prighozin could be murdered by the west to frame Putin. Poisoned.
Best outcome possible! Anytime a military action ends in 0 dead, 0 wounded, it was a good day!
Lukashenko should pat himself on the back…
What’s happening is that psychopathic western nations have — the real aggressors in this war — have unleashed not just “suicide sanctions” against Russia, but are also running Ukraine’s military operations against Russia. This means NATO is already in the war, even if NATO won’t admit it yet. Worse yet, NATO leaders are openly demanding the complete destruction of Russia and the occupation / exploitation of Russia’s natural resources, which is of course the entire model of global exploitation and pillaging typically carried out by the west. (Disrupt, pillage, control. That’s the CIA model that has been unleashed against other nations for decades…)
Yeah, everyone but the US taxpayer will be given a cut of the allocated funds, and everyone will call it a day.
