Wagner Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was filmed leaving Rostov on Saturday after making a deal with the Kremlin which reportedly includes his exiting the country for Belarus.






The Kremlin has released some of the details of their deal with Wagner, via RT:
The criminal case, launched this weekend, against Wagner Private Military Company founder Evgeniy Prigozhin will be dropped and he will leave Russia, the Kremlin announced on Saturday evening.

Spokesman Dmitry Peskov revealed that Prigozhin, a Saint Petersburg Tycoon who made his initial fortune in catering, "will go to Belarus."

He added that Wagner's fighters will not be persecuted, taking into account their efforts on the frontlines of the Ukraine conflict. Peskov explained that President Vladimir Putin's team "have always respected their exploits."

Those PMC contractors, who refused to take part in the mutiny – and whole units did not – will be allowed to sign contracts with the Russian Defense Ministry, Peskov stated.

The PMC group launched a major mutiny overnight, seizing control of the headquarters of Russia's Southern Military District in the city of Rostov-on-Don, as well as advancing towards Moscow. The insurrection was stopped late on Saturday, following talks between Prigozhin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, with the PMC leader agreeing to return his units to their "field camps."
Former Russian commander Igor Ivanovich Strelkov reacted to the news on Telegram with dismay (as translated by Google):
15 servicemen were killed in today's clashes with Wagner PMC

Today, 15 servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces were killed during a conflict with Wagner PMC fighters. Most of them are combat pilots. At the moment of the most serious escalation, an Il-18 aircraft was shot down, on which there were (https://t.me/fighter_bomber/12903) at least eight people.

In addition, today (https://t.me/readovkanews/61465) the Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter was destroyed - the crew died in full force. These servicemen were faithful to their oath to the end.



Strelkov suggested in a follow-up post that Prigozhin should have been hung.
Of course, I understand - that I am a toxic product of past eras ... But in past eras there was no such vile farce. It was easier there. There they fought, hated, fought "not for fun" ... And as a rule, there were much fewer corpses from those "real" battles. Scum - they called scum, bandits and traitors - were not amnestied, but hanged, and indeed ... there were wild times ...
