Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner mercenary group, made the announcement minutes after the leader of Belarus announced successful talks with the Wagner boss.

      Dam, And i thought this was going somehwere!

      Me too. Still, it’s not like Wagner are the good guys. These are two factions of fascists fighting.
      I just hope Ukraine was able to take advantage of Russia’s momentary chaos.

        “never interrupt an enemy when they squabble amongst themselves!” is where I’m standing.

        Like… Wagner… can get fucked.
        the russian military can get fucked.

        It would be convenient if they fucked each other so the Ukrainians didn’t have to.

    I’ve seen it suggested elsewhere that this might be a deal struck with Putin through Lukashenko so as not to make it seem like he is negotiating and capitulating with Prigozhin like they are on the same level. Will any security guarantee he gets be worth a damn, considering Putin’s regime lies and goes back on its word constantly?
