The symbol of today's events is Prigozhin's tank stuck in the gates of the Rostov-on-Don circus. Eventually, it was "liberated" and taken back to the "camps."
I physically felt a sigh of disappointment on Ukrainian social networks. The Wagnerites stopped just 200km short of Moscow. The show of an assault on Moscow did not happen. Lukashenko is celebrating.
I strongly suspect that the older Chinese brother facilitated this compromise. Some secret compromise was found that stopped the final farce with the Prigozhin rebellion. The rebellion turned out to be foolish, but not ruthless. Both sides requested mercy. Both sides understood that they could not win unequivocally and were clearly afraid to lose.
Putin and Prigozhin showed their weakness
Pardon my French (which, in this situation, is called for), but both Putin and Prigozhin f**ked up. Prigozhin realized that he did not receive mass support for his adventure and realized that even if he managed to break through to Moscow, he would not be able to conquer it and hold on to power. Putin probably realized that he might be unable to stop the Wagnerites from breaking through to Moscow. Losing Moscow would mean his failure and, after some time, a disgraceful finale. In the end, both avoided the worst, but at the same time, both , along with the weakness of modern Russia. Russia will not be defeated automatically. We still have a long and persistent struggle against the monster of Russian imperialism ahead of us. But this imperialist monster has again shown its internal weakness. It must be pressed. Step by step.
Regarding the farce with the Prigozhin adventure, this is not yet the end. Putin will not forgive Prigozhin. The aggressive upstart will be eliminated. With his rebellion, he humiliated the Russian dictator, who will not forgive such a thing from his former "chef." However, Putin has once again shown his weakness and vulnerability. This is already a diagnosis for the Russian elites and security forces. They will eliminate Putin, but gradually and by stealth. We should be thinking about how to drive the Russian enemy out of our lands and neutralize the Russian threat for the future.
