Re: Russian Ukraine War - Lods - 06-24-2023
It's bizarre....but it is Russia.
And bizarre is pretty much the norm.
So...
Quite possibly a false flag operation.
But Prigozhin is on record as saying the reasons for the Ukraine war were baseless.
He's been branded a traitor by Putin...and seemingly sent into exile.
Where are his troops going.
Back, to base or back to the conflict....or to Belarus to come into Ukraine on another front.

Latest I've heard is a deal has been done with Lukashenko as mediator and Wagner troops are turning back to their base. Stand by for further developments I guess.

Yes in Russia it is very difficult to determine what is what when it comes to Russia.
This 'intervention' of Lukashenko smells.. Lukashenko has no power in Russia, Prigozhin knows he would be targeted to be killed if everything is as it is being reported. They kill those who disagree with Putin and the regime, this act goes far beyond that.
Is this a way to move Prigozhin and his troops into Belarus to start an offense in northern Ukraine? Does anyone believe Prigozhin is now 'out' of the war?
Is Lukashenko being used as a 'mediator' because the government couldn't be seen to directly negotiate with Prigozhin?
If all is as reported, then Moscow had to have been fearful, because they don't have the troops inside Russia to protect Russia and the convoy was moving fast, but yesterday is a very confusing day and it is really difficult to understand the actual meaning of it all until the next steps.

Belarus is essentially Russia and Lekashenko is a Putin Puppet, Id be watching what I was drinking if I was Prigozhin....especially if it glows in the dark. Never give a sucker an even break and Putin will be looking for revenge when the time is right.
Wagner were doing all the heavy lifting in Ukraine, who is filling that hole?...more kiddy conscripts and old vets?
Re: Russian Ukraine War - cookie2 - 06-25-2023
Prigozhin's card would now be well and truly marked but he's well liked by the Wagner troops apparently, so it would have to be a fine line re any retribution.
Re: Russian Ukraine War - Lods - 06-26-2023
Where's Wagner?
I've seen Taras Bulba...I don't trust any of them.
Re: Russian Ukraine War - Gointocarlton - 08-23-2023
Surprise, surprise, a plane carrying Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin "crashed" killing all on board. I'm sure there'll be a "thorough investigation" into the cause of the "crash".

Putin's been watching a bit too much of The Blacklist.
