Prigozhin blames invasion on defense minister, says it wasn't necessary (Update: Russian army strikes Wagner base! Civil war?)
Hot Air ^ | June 23, 2023 | John Sexton

Every time I think Yevgeny Prigozhin has probably reached the end of his leash, he just goes ahead and says something even more surprising. I really thought he’d reached the limit when he refused to allow his mercenaries to sign an agreement with the army even though Putin (seemingly) ordered him to do it. As far as I know, that hasn’t been resolved yet. Wagner forces still haven’t signed an agreement.

But this latest public statement goes way beyond that. Now he is undermining Russia’s entire justification for the war in Ukraine, claiming the whole thing was a lie concocted by Defense Minister Shoigu for his own selfish reasons.

(snip)

I don’t think that was part of his statement earlier today, at least I didn’t see anyone else reporting it. I have lots of questions starting with: Did this really happen? Prigozhin has been trying to push Defense Minister Shoigu’s buttons for months. Maybe Shoigu snapped?

Anyway, this doesn’t sound like the kind of thing that is some kind of 11-dimensional chess by Putin. This sounds like one party of his army trying to kill another part of his army. We’ll have to wait and see what comes next.

I have no idea what they are saying in this video but notice the quote allegedly from Prigozhin: “A huge number of our comrades died, we will decide how to respond to this atrocity.” Is he talking about striking back against the Russian army?

So it seems that the Russian Army has finally attacked Wagner and killed a lot of the mercs. Prigozhin is now promising retribution! So it's on like Donkey Kong!

Hah, Hah, Hah, this is the funniest BS you’ve posted yet. Of all the Prigozhin attributed crap you’ve posted here, how about an example, other than Bakhmut falling, of ONE posting that didn’t end up being proven total BS? By the way, how’s that unstoppable Uke counteroffensive that you were posting about last week going?

I still don't necessarily believe anything that comes from Ukraine/Russia. Nobody tells any truth there. We will know something/i> when either the Russians quit the war or when the Uke leaders all flee the country.
