The Ukrainian president believes that the head of the Wagner group of Russian mercenaries, Yevgeny Prigozhin humiliated the Kremlin and it showed the erosion of President Vladimir Putin’s power, despite his refusal to advance on Moscow after negotiating his exit with Belarus.

“It was a phenomenal choice… You almost overthrew Putinyou take control of the central government and suddenly leave … because the intermediary with a dubious reputation (Alexander) Lukashenko promises you security guarantees, ”wrote presidential adviser Mikhailo Podoliak in his account on Twitter.

“Putin’s elite” lived for 24 hours in fear, continues the message of presidential adviser Vladimir Zelensky to finally assert that Prigozhin “humiliated” the Kremlin leader and He showed that he did not have a “monopoly on violence”.

Podolyak’s message follows the crisis caused yesterday by the capture of Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia by the Wagner group, and the subsequent advance of their fighters in the direction of Moscow.

Finally, the leader of the Wagner group himself announced his departure, after the mediation of Lukashenka and the return of his fighters to permanent bases, citing the fact that this will prevent bloodshed.

His columns were located about 200 kilometers from Moscow. and, after the announcement of the withdrawal, the “Wagnerites” themselves began to return to the places of permanent deployment of the group from the city of Rostov-on-Don.
