What is clear is Putin was definitely not in control of the situation, and most definitely has enemies around him even within his circle. At this moment though, everything is still speculation, as we still have no idea what deal was accepted and what exactly happened. What we do know is Lukashenko was the one to call Prighozin after Prighozin refused Putin's calls, and Lukashenko in his address may have been right that blowing up Wagner or killing Prighozin (Russia certainly has the means with collateral damage) would lead to civil war.
I guess we will wait and see if anything unfolds. In the meantime Ukraine continues to make gains. |
And on cue, it looks as though Putin reads the Washington Post because there's a bunch of rumors that Surovokin is in detention as of today...
Edit: Kyiv Post reporter Jason Jay Smart confirms
