“Talk about Putin being forced to bend over backwards in humiliation! This is nuts!”
Makes one wonder, is Putin alive?
Was his last video prerecorded in anticipation to politically restructure?

Zelenskyy: The world saw that Russia’s masters do not control anything
On Saturday, after the Wagner Group fighters’ mutiny, the world saw that the masters of Russia do not control anything, according to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
SOURCE: Zelenskyy’s evening address
QUOTE: “Today the world saw that the bosses of Russia do not control anything. Nothing at all. Complete chaos. Complete absence of any predictability. And this is on Russian territory, which is fully loaded with weapons.
We all remember how the head of Russia threatened the world in 2021. He had some ultimatums, he was trying to show a kind of strength…
The year 2022 showed that he had confused – confused his illusions and the lies he was fed with strength. The Kremlin is capable of resorting to any terror, capable of resorting to any stupidity, but they cannot provide even one percent of the necessary control. And they are the real problem.
In one day, they lost several of their million-strong cities and showed all Russian bandits, mercenaries, oligarchs and anyone else how easy it is to capture Russian cities and, probably, arsenals with weapons.”
DETAILS: According to Zelenskyy, it is now very important that no one in the world remains silent because they fear Russian chaos.
“And if someone in the world tries to ignore the situation, if someone in the world is under the illusion that the Kremlin is capable of regaining control... this only postpones the problem until the next outbreak of chaos – even more dangerous,” he said.
Zelenskyy also switched to Russian.
“The man from the Kremlin is obviously very afraid and probably hiding somewhere, not showing himself. I am sure that he is no longer in Moscow. He calls somewhere, and asks something... He knows what he is afraid of because he himself created this threat. All evil, all losses, all hatred – he himself spreads it. And the longer he can run between his bunkers, the more all of you, all those connected with Russia, will lose,” the president said.
“The longer your troops stay on Ukrainian land, the more devastation they will bring to Russia. The longer this person is in the Kremlin, the more disasters there will be,” he added.
It should be noted that the president’s address was posted before Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin announced the return of mercenaries to field camps.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and eighty fifth day of the war.
Day 486: Jun 24
The Wagner rebellion continued, and Prigozhin gradually consolidated control over the captured territories. If yesterday, Wagner forces just crossed the border of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in multiple places and took control over the military objects in the Rostov region, then today, the Wagner forces reached the doorstep of Moscow.
The rebellion started and developed so rapidly that many people seriously consider whether it is just a big show to distract the Ukrainians from their counteroffensive operation. However, today the Head of Ukrainian Intelligence, Budanov, confirmed that the internal Russian armed conflict is real and that removing the Russian Ministry of Defense is a matter of survival for Prigozhin.
Today Prigozhin released a video where he showed the captured headquarters of the Southern Military District. He effectively took captive the Russian commanders, who were not allowed to leave, and said that he would set everyone free only in exchange for Shoigu and Gerasimov. In order to increase the leverage, Prigozhin moved further and also captured the airfield and several villages east of the city, and started reinforcing the flanks while moving towards Moscow.
Putin gave a speech to address the situation, and despite the fact that Prigozhin claimed to be acting in the best Putin’s interests, Putin did not support Prigozhin’s actions. Putin called it a stab in the back that threatened to break Russia just like it happened in 1917, which is why he ordered all special detachments to suppress the rebellion. He gave the Wagner soldiers the last chance to surrender and said that whoever remains will answer before the nation.
Shortly, Russian forces started using their assault helicopters and fighter jets to bomb Wagner columns. Prigozhin said that Russian Air Force disregarded the fact that there were more civilian cars than Wagner cars and that the pilots had terrible accuracy because everyone who could shoot was already on the front. Still, some bombs managed to hit the trucks on the road. One helicopter also blew up an oil depot in the Voroniezh region, which by that time was also captured by the Wagner forces.
Wagner forces responded reciprocally and started shooting down Russian aviation. The widely circulated footage confirms that Wagner forces managed to shoot down multiple aerial objects, including 1 assault helicopter Ka-52, 1 multi-purpose helicopter Mi-8, 3 Electric Warfare helicopters, 1 transport helicopter, and 1 aerial command point plane IL-18.
Soon, Russian forces started bombing the occupied military headquarters in Rostov. Wagner forces responded by reinforcing air defense in the region and asking the civilians to evacuate from the area.
Russian forces also tried to block the roads with trucks to complicate the movement of the Wagner forces, however, Wagners just moved them to the side of the road. Sometimes, Russian soldiers on the block posts did not welcome Wagner forces warmly, and there were violent confrontations.
In general, Russian forces failed to provide reasonable resistance, and Wagner forces developed a presence not only in the Rostov and Voronezh regions but also Kursk, Oriol, Lipetsk, Tambov, and Tula regions, reaching the doorstep of the Moscow region.
Here the situation became more complicated as the Russians blocked all bridges. Simultaneously, the Chechen units entered the Rostov region to strike Wagner’s flanks. The conflict was about to escalate, and after putting all cards on the table, the parties decided to try to negotiate.
The President of Belarus, Lukashenko, volunteered to mediate the negotiation, in part because he has been a close friend of both Putin and Prigozhin for more than 20 years. Suddenly, Prigozhin announced that he was withdrawing. Russian officials stated that the charges on Prigozhin and participating Wagner soldiers were dropped.
It looks like the Russian Ministry of Defense evaluated the situation and understood that they had no chance and fulfilled all of Prigozhin’s demands, more precisely, the removal of Shoigu and Gerasimov. Even though Russian officials stated that no changed to the structure of the Ministry of Defense were discussed during the negotiation process, no one in the media space believes that.
It is expected that in order to avoid the escalation, Putin will remove the highest officials in the Russian Ministry of Defense over the course of around 2 months. Even though the turmoil inside the Russian Ministry of Defense is not explicit, it is happening, and the chaos inside the Russian War Machine creates very favorable conditions for the Ukrainians.

Might want to see how Prigozhin’s health is in a week or two before declaring victory.
Oh but admit it - like me, you were looking forward to Mama Rev’s spin on this all day, weren’t you?
Slavs are so weird.
I think the last paragraph from “Reporting from Ukraine”
said it best:
” The President of Belarus, Lukashenko, volunteered to mediate the negotiation, in part because he has been a close friend of both Putin and Prigozhin for more than 20 years. SUDDENLY, PRIGOZHIN ANNOUNCED THAT HE WAS WITHDRAWING.
Russian officials stated that the CHARGES on Prigozhin and participating Wagner soldiers WERE DROPPED. It looks like the RUSSIAN MILITARY OF DEFENSE evaluated the situation and understood that they had NO CHANCE and FULFILLED all of Prigozhin’s demands, more precisely, the REMOVAL OF SHOGIN AND GERASIMOV. Even though Russian officials stated that no changed to the structure of the Ministry of Defense were discussed during the negotiation process, NO ONE IN THE MEDIA SPACE BELIEVES THAT. It is expected that in order to avoid the escalation, Putin will remove the highest officials in the Russian Ministry of Defense over the course of around 2 months. Even though the turmoil inside the Russian Ministry of Defense is not explicit, it is happening, and the chaos inside the Russian War Machine creates very favorable conditions for the Ukrainians.
True...
Just one missile or some poison...
It’s beyond easy for Russia to terminate Prigozhin. And I think he knows that very clearly... Thats why I wonder if he will just sit by and wait for his disappearance for very long...
Hahaha Musk has a knack for humor.
He has no idea about anything. He’s a Ukrainian former commercial pilot, now living in exile in Switzerland or Germany.
He’s claiming Russians suported Prgozhin based on likes on a Telegram post.
Even compared to his usual not-very-good military analysis, this video is just silly..
The first video is outdated. Rostov-on-Don is no longer hoisting the Musicians convoy. They returned to their base hours ago.
In that case it will take two months to find out. Prigozhin just threw conventional wisdom a curveball no one expected.
LOL - Good one!

Having trouble separating YOUR FANTASIES from REALITY yet again?
6-24-2023
Part 1- HUGE NEWS!!! Prigozhin released today a new interview going over the current state of affairs as well as looking back at the events preceding the start of the “SMO”. In this first bit, he explains that the Donbas was plundered by Russians since 2014 and the 2022 war began for reasons very different from those advertised to the public.
Part 2- In continuation of his interview, Prigozhin lists two reasons for the start of the SMO: a) personal ambitions of Shoygu and b) the desire of Russia’s ruling clan, who were not satisfied with the Donbas, to appoint Medvedchuk as the president of Ukraine and divide its assets between each other for plundering. According to Prigozhin, denazification and demilitarisation make no sense since Azov wouldn’t be exchanged for Medvedchuk otherwise.

Part 3- Prigozhin says that by the time Wagner arrived in Ukraine in March of 2022, it was already impossible to be talking about any victory as the forces were simply not enough, but the military leadership was demanding advances, even of 50-100 meters per day, and the dead were not counted.

Part 4- Prigozhin says again that Rusian lines in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson are falling, and it is only a matter of time until moves similar to Kherson and Kharkiv regroupings take place. Local Russian commanders are forced to provide false reports on their positions so as to not antagonise the high command.

Putin managed to end a coup attempt with minimal loss of life. The troops are back on their base, Prigozhin has been seperated from his power base, and can be dealt with at a later date. Perhaps he’s under house arrest. He doesn’t have a lot of places to go. He’s wanted in the west.
