Criminal charge on Prighozin dropped after rebellion against Putin; Wagner chief will move to Belarus
The head of the private Russian military company Wagner will move to neighboring Belarus as part of deal to defuse rebellion tensions and the criminal case against him will be closed, the Kremlin said Saturday.

Yevgeny Prigozhin’s troops who joined him in the uprising will not face prosecution and those who did not will be offered contracts by the Defense Ministry, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

he has lead quite a life

1990: Sold hot dogs in a flea market
1995: Entered restaurant business
2001: Personally served food to Putin
2012: Supplied meals to Russian military for $1.2B a year. Owned a private jet and a 115-foot yacht.
2014: Started Wagner Group, a private military org
2022: Admits role in US election interference and participated in Ukraine invasion
2023: Mutiny and was on his way to Moscow



This official statement from Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner group and the leader of this coup, says it all. I don't think anyone expected this:

"They were going to dismantle PMC Wagner. We came out on 23 June to the March of Justice. In a day, we walked to nearly 200km away from Moscow. In this time, we did not spill a single drop of blood of our fighters. Now, the moment has come when blood may spill. That’s why, understanding the responsibility for spilling Russian blood on one of the sides, we are turning back our convoys and going back to field camps according to the plan."

The President of Belarus, Lukashenko, has been in talks with Prigozhin all day and has taken credit for the peace agreement.

Prigozhin accepted the terms of Lukashenko’s agreement and agreed to halt the movement of his forces and return back to his bases.

The agreement also guarantees security for fighters of PMC Wagner.
It seems that the attempted coup has come to an end, and Prigozhin, along with his men, will return to their bases.
Reports of Wagner forces not only leaving Moscow Oblas, but also leaving Rostov.

Russian media reports that criminal cases have already been dropped from Yevgeny Prigozhin and that Prigozhin and his forces will receive FULL IMMUNITY

Restrictions on the movement of vehicles have been lifted from the Voronezh region which saw clashes earlier during the coup.

I wonder what really happened and if it was anywhere near what we've been told.

I posted the Twitter link on the last page. I guess most people didn't open it.
This tweet suggests that it was all staged.

"NAFO briefly worshipped the man who took their beloved Bakhmut from them?"
What is that supposed to mean?

I think he will be playing cards shortly with Navalny !!!

Probably he opened a bankaccount in Panama a couple of years ago, and what do mercenaries, they fight for the money. Who has most money: The Yanks, they moved a couple of millions to his Panamenian account, and he turned his tanks against Putin, because somebody paid more (wasnt that the way it worked in AFG ??). And Putin did now the same, more money, and the tanks turn again !! ?? Money wins the war, no ???
