Corvinus85 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 News are starting to come in about that. MSNBC reported that a Belorussian Telegram channel said that Lukashenko has actually been negotiating with Prigozhin and convinced him to stand down.

dog-days Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) WTF. eta: Prigozhin must know he's going to fall out of a window in short order. Though Putin likely won't even try and hang that much of a veil over the assassination. What on earth could motivate him to turn back now? If he was worried by the likelihood of Wagner being wiped out down to the last man, he'd never have seized Rostov in the first place.

Arakasi Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Eh really not a bad result. I imagine even pulling Wagner and Russian units off the lines like this will give Ukraine a chance to make gains off it. Especially if this negotiation stretches out.

Corvinus85 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 As soon as Wagner are back in their camps, airstrikes will commence. Prigozhin is an idiot if he thinks this is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Quite the turn of events. Perhaps prigozhin really is happy with replacing the MoD guys like Shoigu, etc. Situation still feels very tenuous. Is the compromise that now prigozhin is in charge of the military? Is he sharing power with Putin? Lots of unknowns. Just feels like Prigozhin is never going to get another opportunity like he has right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 It would be great if Ukrainian forces could take out all the materiel from Rostov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toth Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I'm waiting until there is evidence of Wagner turning around/a credible video of Prigozhin saying so. Until then, I suspect it could just as well be a last ditch attempt by the FSB to sow confusion among Wagner. There is just no way Prigozhin would survive standing down just because he has Lukas word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
