On Saturday night, with his heavily armed mercenaries closing in on Moscow, Yevgeny Prigozhin abruptly announced that he was shutting down his insurrection after a negotiated settlement that would allow him to walk away peacefully.
Just two days later, the Russian authorities leaked word that the agreement was already toast.
After one of the most extraordinary days in modern Russian history, which saw Prigozhin seize the military’s southern command HQ in Rostov-on-Don before a column of his fighters sped toward Moscow virtually unopposed, it was announced that the former Putin confidant would be granted an amnesty and allowed to head into exile in Belarus.
Prigozhin—who forged his notorious reputation by running the world’s most bloodthirsty mercenary army—laughably said the deal was struck to ensure that no “blood will be shed” even though his men had already shot down several Russian helicopters and a military plane, according to reports from Russian military bloggers and the Ukrainian air force spokesman, killing up to 39 Russians.

The Wagner group was always a part of the Russian army. Progo is a figurehead.
I didn't know America was spelled 'Ukraine'.
What are you doing beside supporting Putin, Iranian Mullahs, North Koreans and the Chicoms?
An unwillingness to support or provide military aid to Ukraine in a conflict thousands of miles away does not automatically imply support for "Putin, Iranian Mullahs, North Koreans and the Chicoms."
I heard he got $6.2 billion. Sweet!
The Daily Beast? Seriously? Why not just invite Democrat Underground for their opinion?
Once upon a time I believed Bush Jr too
Do you agree with all policies by the US? I suppose you agree with the border policy? The child gender policies in school? Shutting down the pipeline? The Green energy/anti fossil fuel policies, vaccine mandates on our troops, bio labs?
I think you get my point. I love this country. I highly disagree with our policy in Ukraine I disagree with other policies. That’s why I vote. I highly disagree in manipulation to overthrow foreign governments. Biden and western nations direction to overthrow Putin is horrible. Yes, that’s their desire. The entire approach has been so disasterous, it’s created an energy crisis. It’s caused nations to further mistrust the U.S., leading them to BRICS, which has weakened us. How can anyone support this war. There is nothing noble about it. To support this war, is supporting the weakening of our nation and further meddling and the sovereignty of foreign governments.
💯 100%
I’m the scariest thing up here, unless you’re a real American, then you’re at risk of being drug to my farm for a fire pit and long distance steel ringing heh.
To these people if you don’t blindly support Ukraine because the media told you to, you’re an evil rascal. There is no critical or logical thought, they only repeat what the msm tells them to.
Yeah, baby! :)
Abe we’ll even post the Daily Beast on FR to really gas light you lol
Putin made a deal with Ukraine, too. He sucks.
Ukraine is at risk as long as Putin is in power.
Yep but Putin is turning into Stalin. He's not going away. Maybe only old age will take him out at this point.
So you roll with Putin and Russian propaganda?
This may be true, however Putin did not say this during his speech - which is what they referred to in this claim.
I was about to say the same. I heard Putin’s speech. He never said this. Now, it may be true, however verbally in public - he offered Prigozhin to go live in Belarus.
This isn’t about Putin, but against this pro globalist war. But, Putin has globalist /NATO nations conspiring to destroy him. Somewhat like what Trump has been going thru.
Prigozhin and Putin seem to be on the same team.
