Prigozhin Uprise Collapses, Putin in Control, Prigozhin Agrees to Exile in Belarus, Wagner Under MoD (Alexander Mercouris)




Not all of Wagner supported Prigozhin's mutiny. According to Mercouris the senior officers of Wagner were not willing to go along with the operation that involved from 4 to 6 thousand Wagnarian troops. His lack of support helped end the mutiny which was more about getting a change in senior leadership to put in more aggressive commanders. Other clips have covered what happened, including the idea that there is now a push inside the Russian military to go on a large scale offensive. Prigozhin appears to have acted a bit too forcefully in pushing for this idea.
