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.

I was watching their corks popping off all night. Twas seriously epic funny.
“pooty is weakened now”
Utter nonsense.
He stared down an armed insurrection/coup attempt and every single Russian State institution stood with him. Not a single crack in the wall.
His control of the state is unassailable and unquestioned.
There will be no more of this nonsense on his watch.

If they “marched” on Moscow the air force would simply take them out.
I just looked at A Dumb Zinger's Twitter feed.

Sound like something right out of the Black Lives Matter playbook.
In reality they are liberals wanting the money laundering situation to go away.
Dead man walking.
How does he think he gets away with this?
Putin was running away five minutes after that speech where he was clearly pissing his pants. That isn’t strength exuding from Putin. It’s feces.
I wonder how much Deepstate/CIA black ops bribe money got lost in the “coup” honeypot trap?
Deepstate/CIA/Neocons were not getting the war they wanted so they tried this Wagner “coup” gambit to try and stir up the pot. It has failed as the world knows all their war creating tricks now totally exposing their evil.
Sucks to be them.
Your libtard is showing. Might want to put some ice on that.
Yea, bet Yevgeny Prigozhin death announcement occurs in 7 to 10 days.....
I see a slight decline in the Polonium inventory in the near future........
Wagner Group probably walked with a billion or so.
As soon as the money dropped it was all over.
