MOSCOW, July 10. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin had a nearly three-hour-long meeting with Yevgeny Prigozhin and PMC Wagner commanding officers in the Kremlin on June 29, Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.

Commenting on a piece by the Liberation newspaper about Putin’s meeting with Prigozhin after what happened on June 24, the Kremlin spokesman said, "The president did hold such a meeting."

"He invited 35 people - all the squad commanders and the leadership of the [private military] company, including Prigozhin," he said. "The meeting took place in the Kremlin on June 29 and lasted for nearly three hours."

"We are unaware of the details (of the meeting - TASS), but the one thing we can say is that the president gave his assessment of the [private military] company’s actions on the frontline during the special military operation and the June 24 events," Peskov noted.

Yah, sounds kinda like how the Antifa/BLM burning of cites in 2020 were touted as support for the thug Floyd — when, really, all about collecting money.

MSM at it again.

“It appears the March to Moscow was a show”

A smokescreen for transferring forces and replacing ineffective military commanders was implemented. President Lincoln successfully replaced numerous underperforming military leaders prior to achieving victory in the Civil War. The Civil War spanned a duration of four years, while the ongoing Ukraine War commenced one year and four months ago.

Putin possesses the advantages of time and a sizable workforce, much like Lincoln did during his time. Ukraine, similar to the South during the Civil War, faces constraints in terms of limited resources.

Ukraine’s sole reliance lies in the support and provision of resources from the Western nations.

yes, and unlike in America, where military leaders attain permanent political/media status, other nations cycle out underachievers.

Its been postulated that the whole thing was a sting to smoke out the traitorous generals in Putin’s army. Several have been relieved of duty I believe.

It most definitely was not what NATO and the Western press were trying to make it out to be. Undeniably, Putin and the Russian military have come out it in a stronger, more unified position. For the six months prior to the “mutiny” Prigozhin was the darling of the Western press. I got sick of his quotes and claims around here. Command is once more unified.

Putin and Progozchin have been BFF’s for a long time so I didn’t buy him all of a sudden trying to initiate a coup.

So you are saying Putin planned for Russian pilots to lose their lives and for the expensive Russian AWACS wannabe system to be shot down.

Brilliant, Putin killed more Russians for a show you say

Where are the pictures of these dead Russian pilots? Don’t you feel stupid swallowing Polish propaganda, or is Polish and stupid an oxymoron?
