Putin calls Prigozhin’s rebellion “treason,” orders Russian military to crush it. #Russia #Wagne
24th June 2023
Putin was clear in his speech just now. He has ordered his army and others to destroy #Wagner & #Prigozhin. So there’s going to be a big fight. Russians will be killing Russians, probably in large numbers, unless Prigozhin surrenders.

Putin’s problem is that up to now Prigozhin’s Wagner Group has been the most effective Russian force fighting in Ukraine. Now it’s turned against him.

Putin’s campaign was organized by “political technologists”, who turned Russian politics into avant-garde theater, where no one was sure what was real and what was fake. This same strategy was later replicated on social media by organizations like Yevgeny Prigozhin’s IRA.

Replying to
Prigozhin was literally named in the Mueller report as the funder of the same IRA that helped get Trump elected. Prigozhin has since bragged about being not just its funder but its creator.

Verbatim from Wagner source: “We are abgry at the rotten Kremlin leadership who have turned out not just to be thieves but also militarily incompetent. Prigozhin and Kadyrov enjoy high respect in the army and special services, have their own armies and can take over if they want”
