Warning: There are graphic images in this film There were reports that President Putin had to be talked out of killing his former ally - the head of the mercenary Wagner Group Yezgeny Prigozhin, and that Mr Prigozhin had expected the Russian army to change sides to support him.
That’s according to the Belarus leader President Lukashenko who’s given asylum to Mr Prigozhin as part of the deal to end the revolt. He was speaking at a press conference yesterday.
President Putin meanwhile tried to paint a picture of life returning to normal. The Russian authorities said Wagner will be disarmed but its members will escape prosecution over its short-lived rebellion

Wagner’s mutiny came to an end without the denouement many had anticipated. Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the mercenary group, called off his advance on Moscow and has gone into exile in Belarus after striking a deal with the Kremlin. While no one backed Prigozhin publicly, some actors were quietly watching the events unfolding from afar.

Ukrainian Chief Intelligence Directorate Head voiced his version of why Prigozhin did not reach Moscow

Ukrainian Chief Intelligence Directorate Head voiced his version of why Prigozhin did not reach Moscow
The head of Ukrainian intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, believes that Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was persuaded to stop the armed rebellion by pressing on his “patriotic convictions”.
SOURCE: the head of the Chief Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine in a comment to Ukrainska Pravda.
QUOTE: “I hate to admit it, but Yevgeny Prigozhin is a patriot of Russia. Lukashenko and others were able to convince him that his actions would tear Russia apart. A similar situation could arise, as we had in 2014 when Yanukovych shouted that he was ‘legitimate’.”
BACKGROUND:
-On the evening of 23 June, Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed that the regular Russian army had launched a missile strike on the Wagner mercenaries’ rear camps. He therefore deployed 25,000 of his mercenaries “to restore justice”.
-On 24 June, the Wagnerites took control of military facilities in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and seized military facilities in the city of Voronezh. They were on their way to Moscow, and the Russian capital was preparing for defence.
-In an emergency address on 24 June, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia was “fighting for survival” and that attempts were being made to “organise a rebellion” in the country. Ukrainian intelligence said he had urgently left Moscow for a bunker in Valdai.
-June 24, following a conversation with Alexander Lukashenko, Prigozhin said that his mercenaries were heading back to the field camps. He had been promised that the criminal charges against him in Russia were to be dropped, and he was supposed to “leave for Belarus”.
-Yevgeny Prigozhin’s business jet flew from the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don to Belarus.
-The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has reported that the criminal case of the armed rebellion against Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner Private Military Company (PMC), has been closed.
Big strike with what? Half of the force intended to hit towards Melitopol is wiped out. The units of second echelon that were supposed to exploit the breaches in the defences are now put into fight where not even the first line penetrated.
‘Bridgehead’ in Kherson is a PR trick and a waste of troops. There are no forces concentrated to exploit it.
What else? Is it a new provocation on Russian border? A nuclear plant incident?
YES! ABSOLUTELY!
I pray that America ends the forever war and leaves a bit more of the world in peace. A curse on all warmongers and war profiteers.
Heard are bringing in some EU “peace keepers or minder types”. May or may not be true. Obviously Kramatorsk exposed some truth.
Escalation? Likely.

1. Excellent Tactics! The Ukrainians destroyed the weakening Russian blocs!

Ukrainian troops continue their fight against the Russians. The Ukrainian troops, who liberated Novodanylivka and Makarivka regions from the Russians, focused on the supply lines and attacked the determined regions in order to prevent the Russians from sending support to this region and to slow down the Russians. Ukraine’s aggressive attack strategy scared the Russians. For this reason, the Russians In order to keep the Ukrainians away from important logistics centres and ammunition depots and to move ammunition from this area to other areas, the Russians tried to divert the Ukrainian army’s attention to other areas.
The Russians succeeded in directing the Ukrainians to that area with a comprehensive offensive in the direction of Makarivka. The strong tactical attacks of the Ukrainian army put the Russian army in a difficult situation. The Russians are forced to retreat before they can respond to Ukrainian attacks.
What do you think is the main reason for Ukraine’s success at the front? Before the Russians could continue their attack in the direction of Makarivka, they lost control due to the tactical superiority of the Ukrainian army. The Ukrainians controlled the hills close to the settlement, so the Ukrainian army quickly gained control of the area. The Russian defence in the area was also considerably weakened. The Ukrainian army took this opportunity to attack the weakened Russian defences and tried to completely neutralise the Russian positions.
It was confirmed that the 31st Mechanised Brigade of the Ukrainian army gained full control in the Rivnopil region. Russian troops could not withstand the intense Ukrainian offensive and wanted to retreat quickly. Part of the Russian troops retreated and moved away from the area. Some of the Russian troops were caught and killed by the Ukrainian army’s intensive artillery attack on the retreat routes. With Ukraine’s intense attacks and tactical superiority in the region, the Russian army withdrew from the region.
Although Russian leader Vladimir Putin prevents the spread of such news in Russia, people can be informed about the events on the front line through social media. Russia’s losses at the front are very disturbing to the Russian people. For this reason, many Russians react to Vladimir Putin. In the coup attempt initiated by Wagner leader Prigozhin, we saw many Russian citizens supporting the rebel Wagner troops in the Rostov region. Reactions to Putin, who said that he would invade Ukraine by reaching Kiev in 1 week, continue to increase. The number of military personnel lost by Russia against Ukraine is more than 200,000. This situation has brought the war to the point of completely ending Putin’s reputation.

Do you really believe this stuff? My advice: Pray for discernment. Hint: WW2 Germany with their Nazis prayed to, the Zelensky government has many similarities to Nazi Germany.
I pray that America ends the forever war and leaves a bit more of the world in peace. A curse on all warmongers and war profiteers.

Amen.
LOL!
Are we finished with paying their retirement pensions yet?
How is it that you absolve Russia from responsibility for this war, a war that they started and continue?
May you reap what you sow!
You must hate the USA. We’ve started and instigated a lot of wars.
LOL! We did not start this war, Russia did; and Russia can end it by going home. Nor give me the excuse that we "poked the bear." Ukraine was not a threat to Russia. This is just Russia taking advantage of what they thought was a weak US and NATO in order to resubjugate Ukraine to Russia rule. Do not be mislead by any other excuses.
