Former Russian PM: 'Putin has 48 hours to stop Prigozhin's rebellion' | DW News
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 чер 2023
- Russia's president Vladimir Putin has vowed to crush what he called an armed mutiny in a televised address. It comes after Yevgeny Prigojhin, head of the Wagner mercenary group said he wanted to oust Russia's military leadership.
The Russian army says it is carrying out 'combat measures' in the southern region of Voronezh. Further south, Prigozhin says his Wagner forces have taken control of key military sites in the city of Rostov-on-Don.
This includes the region's military headquarters - a key logistical base for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But Prigozhin denies he's staging a coup.
As Russian authorities declare a counter-terrorist operation in Moscow, Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin says his troops are prepared to die for their cause.

It's not an armed mutiny. It's a special leadership review.
😂😂😂😂
Hhhhhhhh, special operation number what again, I can keep up with lies of Putin,oh!, "combat measures", lady's and Gents,we have a new one fro putin---combat measure.
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A democratic election, with votes counted in bullet holes?

Truly witnessing a remarkable moment in history right now
The biggest historical event since COVID.
Pretty crazy, that and the ufo whistleblower.

Well this is one way for Russia to exit Ukraine without admitting defeat.
One can only hope 🙏
I think this Wagner problem it's a piece of cake for Putin.
I think admitting defeat would've been better because now the whole world sees they can't even defend their own territory.
Yeap
What defeat?...
Well this can happen when you have private armies beside the national army.
Exactly. Other countries often call them private militias - and all too often they are bad news.
This is where the 3 billion dollars from the irs got sent to 😂 sorry America you list again
There is no mutiny. Pregozhin just wants to resolve his grievances. There have been no firefights as it's still relatively peaceful. There will be negotiations and this will fizzle out.
You were spot on.
pretty sure hes trying to takeover the spot of putin
Putin surprised that mercenaries turn out to be mercenary!
Surely this time things will be different! Lol
Yup mercenaries are loyal to no one !
If they use their troops in Russia. Then they have to leave Ukraine
But they're not fighting as mercenaries. They're fighting as loyalists to Prigozhin now. If they were fighting for money, Putin could just pay them off.
It's not a mutiny, it's an '✨Special Armed Disagreement✨'.
Special armed disagreement
Time will be the king.. lets see
Special uprising operation.
Question is, WHO will win?
IMO, your comment has the best wording I've yet seen!
That fizzled quickly...

This situation is very similar to a game of chess where Putin opens space to a direct check-mate against his own king, in the meantime adverts the Queen not to take advantage of his weakness to come forward and destroy his kingdom.

Not a fan of Prigozhin, but got to respect the balls on that guy.
No turning back for Prigo . He needs to go through with this now. All the way to Moscow and knock on Putin's door.
He is still a servant.
Yeah, I am sure Putin needs DW to tell him what his options are.
It's not a coup, its a special paramilitary march.

It is terrorism sponsored by the enemy

Soviet Union used them in WW2. It is not new.
@@mylifeintennessee5259 the soviet union is not just Russia though?
The US has used PMCs on a large scale, too. I think it's a question of the level of autonomy given, ability to undertake independent action, and political risks associated with the leadership. It is also a question of stability within the military. If Blackwater took out an American General, I can't imagine anything good happening for them. If Wagner took out Shoigu, one could almost imagine that their word might become truth.
Prigozhin had ben complaining but Moscow had been ignoring his warnings. This guy means what he says
I hope he succeeds...
Yet - he needs to remember WHO is in charge...
@@laughingoutofdepression8093why? He’s a bigger tyrant than Putin

It's amazing how history always repeats itself... these leaders just don't learn their lessons
there's always some chump that thinks they can do it better or yield better results
The problem with this is that millions or billions suffer because of "leaders" like them so much more than the "leaders" ever will!
True, but many civilians make the same mistake. Russia has a history of putting a “fatherly” strong man in power. Their mindset and the common corruption prevents democracy from blossoming. Having Prigozjin in power is just more of the same for the Russians.
Which lessons for instance?
Prigozin is not against Putin, but against Shoigu and bad military desisions.
It is not a coup, it is a special military operation
Best comment lol
its a coup
😂😂😂😂😂
Ya after the coup That progizene didn't said he would the operation in Ukraine....now think what would happen a maniac like that takes power...Putin still don't used his air force neither be attacked kiev...

We can witness a historic moment in Russian history.
This is not a coup, this is an impromptu private military parade.

48 hours? They moved from Rostov-on-Don to Voronezh in about 3 hours and that is half way to Moscow. I don't think he has 48 hours left.

This can backfire on a world stage. Depending on how far Putin will go to make sure he remains in power and his tools he can use (jets, tanks and nukes). Leaders that are backed in a corner will take very unreasonable measures.

that's why people say war is unpredictable
Because it constantly changing
It involves Russians.
We always knew it was going to be involve some breathtaking treacheries
The best scenario would be that Wagner gets crushed but that during the process, the Russian armed forces gets weakened and gets defeated decisively in Ukraine.
yeah but whats the probability for that outcome considering what we know about the russian military? If the wagner convoys of prigozhin are not attacked by fighter jets and it comes to urban warfare in moscow then Putin is done.
Agreed. And the longer it's drawn out for, the better.
I'm still waiting to see Russia 'crush' anything.
Absolutely.
I am hopeful Prigozhin wants to be a liberal leader. To reshape Russia in his image, he needs liberal support for the narrative.
I don’t know why but to me its just relocation of assets
Shortest armed rebellion....
I pray that the ordinary people of Russia who are just going about their lives will remain safe through this difficult time.
Amen
I pray to Russia people too

hey dumb dumb wagner has 25 thousand troops they would be crushed in 48 hours
Not a win for anyone he is going to use nukes
It’s all a ploy ! Putin is in on it ..,distracting everyone as we leave
My dream outcome is that Putin and Prigozhin have a heart to heart talk, Shoigu goes away and Prigozhin heads the Russian military 👌🏻
