Summary

Russian President Vladimir Putin makes a TV address after Yevgeny Prigozhin's attempted mutiny on Saturday

He says steps were taken to avoid major bloodshed during the rebellion, but it took time

Wagner fighters can sign a contract with the Russian military or move to Belarus, Putin says

Prigozhin agreed to leave Russia for Belarus after calling off his troops - his current whereabouts are unknown

The head of the Wagner group recorded an 11-minute audio message after leading Saturday's mutiny

In it he says his men headed to Moscow to "hold to account" those leaders he blamed for "mistakes" in the Ukraine war

He denied his "march for justice" was aimed at toppling Russian President Vladimir Putin

So 25,000 mercenaries are redeploying to Belarus. That’s not an accident.

“I’m sure the citizenry of Belarus are thrilled.”

It might be a good thing, or it could be very dangerous for the government there. I wonder what they are going to do from Belarus, how that infrastructure and diplomatic process works?

Some will head to Belarus and be used soon to attack Kiev from the north.

I suspected this was a redeployment. Wagner Group will attack Ukraine from Belarus and march on Kiev.

As Biden says he had nothing to do with this, or Hunter's businesses.

Nah. Kyiv is defended. I'm sure Ukranian soldiers are in Kyiv for some R&R. But they're on garrison duty.

At least you get it - not like your harpie friends bouncing off walls waiting for the big “coup,” or waiting for Vlad to kill the Wagner icon.

Please tell your (very moronic) friends to not hold their breath.

” I wonder what they are going to do from Belarus, how that infrastructure and diplomatic process works?”

I understand the Wagner group is fighting (rapping and pillaging) in seventeen countries. There are an estimated five thousand in Africa. They trade their services to terrorist groups, governments and warlords for cash, drugs, diamonds, gold and other commodities. Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner office had 48 million dollars in cash in it along with 45 passports for Yevgeny under various names, according to the FSB. What the Wagnerites will probably do is flee to Africa and sell their services to someone else. Interesting that the FSB specified dollars rather than rubles or Euros.

Very convenient. The Belarus border is only 142 miles from Kiev according to Google maps.

*In March 2020, it was revealed that Prigozhin had financially assisted Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of the late overthrown Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, in his bid for the next Libyan presidential election.[97]*

Found this in Wikipedia. Since he turned on Putin he and Trump should get along- Birds of a feather.

If Putin could only go out like Gaddafi did with a stick up his butt.

Has anyone given any thought that the mutiny is a diversion setup by Putin and Prigozhin. The Wagner forces go to Belarus, and then attack Ukraine from the north. Kiev is a short 100 miles from Belarus. It would be fitting considering all the propaganda that both sides spew.
