If opening up a fraud case against Wagner mercenaries is Putin’s version of getting tough after an attempted coup, his attempt to assert his authority will fail miserably. He’s used this playbook against enemies in the past, but it will fail to scare people who kill for a living

Putin said that the “Wagner” PMC was funded by the state. From May 2022 to May 2023, 86 billion rubles from the budget was spent on its maintenance. “I hope that no one has stolen anything or stolen less, but we will deal with it all,” commented the bunker tsar.

Putin’s rule won’t end without violence or a threat of violence. If he stays in power for another 5-10 years, the risk of a bloodshed increases. The civil war in Russia has been ongoing from the moment he invaded Ukraine

Russian Ambassador Filatov is obviously a Putin mouthpiece. He has threatened and lied to the Irish People. He blames US, EU, NATO and imaginary NAZI regime in Ukraine for the war. What’s really worrying is we have a lot of people in Ireland who also support Filatov’s view.
