The rebellious Russian mercenary commander who ordered his troops to march on Moscow before abruptly reversing course will move to neighboring Belarus and not face prosecution, the Kremlin said Saturday, as part of a deal to defuse a crisis that represented the most significant challenge to President Vladimir Putin in his more than two decades in power.
The charges against Yevgeny Prigozhin for mounting an armed rebellion will be dropped and the troops who joined him also will not be prosecuted, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced, and fighters from his Wagner Group who did not take part in the uprising will be offered contracts by the Defense Ministry.
Putin had vowed to punish those behind the armed uprising led by his onetime protege, whose forces seized a key military facility in southern Russia before advancing on the capital. In a televised speech to the nation, Putin called the rebellion a “betrayal” and “treason.”

Revenge is a dish best served cold.
70 percent, it was a faulse flag to show Putin stopping neo- nazi ctazies.It is also true. And STILL not our busniess, the WHOLE thing.
China knows what this is.
Only the left in the USA is in the dark.
Fake or real this is how you save lives...put egos aside and come to reasonable conclusion given the power gap between players. “Yevgeny Prigozhin” saw writing on the wall, the Russian MOD got what the wanted.
Ukraine should have made a similar deal but consigned its country to hundred of thousands of dead and wounded plus destroyed infrastructure due to hubris and belief in foreign weapons...weapons don’t win wars.
Now let’s see if this really happens. Wouldn’t be the first time a Russian lied.
Exile for a very rich man who served his purpose for the State.
Hell, look what Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, etc. got away with after an attempted coup. And the Biden Crime Family’s treasonous actions for profit are not prosecuted. At least Prigozhin put his life on the line to protect Russian interests.
How does he think he gets away with this?"
Is it possible Putin approved the whole affair to identify and weed out those disloyal to his regime?
Not Bejing Biden.
Dead man walking.
Russia is lying.
Guess who else is lying?
Quiz on Monday.
Sure. I guess it is typical for a "protest" in Russia against the military that involves multiple military planes being shot down and a couple of cities being seized to end with the participants being told, "it's OK you won't get prosecuted".
Is that how most "protests" turn out in Russia?
How can that be? He went from accusing Prigozhin of treason and fleeing his own capital to agreeing not to do anything to Prigozhin in return for keeping Moscow within hours.
I see you have restarted your troll-factory in Moscow! It’s good, I need you.
Here is your new “emperor without clothes”. This video shows how Putin panicked on live Russian TV, like if Russia lived through its last hour !
Now Russians know the truth about Putin. A man being totally destabilized by a few Wagner trucks driving towards Moscow... :)

A GREAT VIDEO.
Just damn...a zoomie talking tough...lol. IMO, Vermont Lt's remarks were spot on.
Perhaps, but I see Yevgeny's shelf life to be longer than the accountant at Burisma.
O/T, but that story caught my wife's attention. I'm in the midst of an investigation into embezzlement where I work. She's worried the same thing could happen to me...lol. It's ok, my life insurance payment is on auto pay.
Are you still running that IP farm?
I would have loved to see Putin’s reaction when he was given a free ticket on Ocean Gate.
Rest and refit in Belarus.
It’s a date that will live in infamy around here.
The hohos got their hohopes up...
