Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced on Saturday that he had arranged a deal whereby Wagner Group leader Evgeny Prigozhin will abandon his mutiny in exchange for “security guarantees” for his fighters.
“Evgeny Prigozhin accepted the proposal of President Alexander Lukashenko to stop the movement of armed men of Wagner in Russia and take further steps to de-escalate tension,” read a statement from Lukashenko’s office.
Lukashenko Wagner negotiations:
Well if that weren’t some exciting 18 something hours
I expected Wagner to linger around for longer, didn’t expect that they’d come and go in only 18 hours.
Is any of this actually true? Only time will tell. I am hesitant to take Lukashenko’s word for it.
Prigozhin has said on his telegram channel that they won’t advance anymore.
He’s gonna jump out of a window in an open field soon.
We only trust western state and corporate media
Yes, much better to trust news outlets based entirely outside of Russia for information on Russian happenings.
The incredible thing about critical thinking (and reading) skills is that posessing them allows you to parse bullshit from truth.
For instance, reading this allowed me and others to accurately predict that this would turn out to be nothing.
Incredible, huh?
We just bit into a nothingburger.
