A sobering piece. We shouldn’t be distracted too much by this Prigoszhin drama.

This could be worrying for Ukraine. What does this new MoD have to do to be more amenable?
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Michael Weiss: Er, so Putin caved to a putschist with an army and agreed to make the MoD more amenable to him, after the putschist showed how well he can challenge the regime. And the guy gets to live? Things are wild, weird and unpredictable in Russia but this doesn’t quite convince.

Most people are not intelligent enough to do this. But what will happen in the war now? The destabilisation of Putin could make him dangerous in unpredictable ways. If for instance he feels the need for performative escalation. Hope I’m wrong. This could be the reason for the… https://n.respublicae.eu/i/web/status/1672674322849189890

Dimko Zhluktenko 🇺🇦: Please, read this.
Wagner and Prigozhin are not anti-war. They are rebelling against Russian military leadership to take over - to kill Ukrainians more efficiently Shoigu does.
They are not saying the war is pointless. They just want more power to kill Ukrainians.
That’s it. https://t.co/ZSNL9tPGHU

max seddon: Kremlin spox Dmitry Peskov:
– charges dropped against Prigozhin, who will leave Russia for Belarus
– Wagner fighters who didn't take part in the uprising will sign contracts with the MOD

A private army for Lukashenko?
A new attack on Ukraine?
Somehow I have a deeply uneasy feeling. But why?
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Anton Gerashchenko: He was several steps away from the Kremlin, and now is going to Belarus: Russian media posted a photo of Prigozhin leaving Rostov.
Prigozhin is coming to Lukashenko.
What will this arrangement lead to? We'll see soon. https://t.co/uvcHqT0oo9

Eugene Finkel: If history is any guide, there are several futures for Prigozhin in Belarus:
1. He is thrown into a dungeon, blinded and starved to death
2. He overthrows the local chieftain and marches on Moscow again
3. At some point Lukashenka puts him on a train
4. History is not a guide

They will wait until Prigozhin is in Africa again and then hire another warlord to kill him. @MarkHertling was right to define him as that. The whole thing is an inter-gangster dispute about power and money. How can these people can be negotiated with?
