Russian officials have been trying to put the failed mutiny behind them for three days
BELARUS PREPARED TO welcome rebel Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin into exile today as Russia’s President Vladimir Putin sought to shore up his authority by thanking regular troops for averting civil war.
“You de facto stopped civil war,” Putin told troops from the defence ministry, National Guard, FSB security service and interior ministry gathered in a Kremlin courtyard to hold a minute’s silence for airmen slain by Wagner. Russian officials have been trying to put the crisis behind them for three days, with Prigozhin due to go into exile in Belarus, the FSB dropping charges against rank-and-file Wagner troopers and the military preparing to disarm the group.
The feud between Wagner and the army had escalated for months, with Prigozhin making increasingly scathing statements against the generals’ handling of the offensive in Ukraine, blaming them for thousands of Russian losses.
