The PM of Serbia is from the Serbian progressives Party, the deputy PM is from the Socialist party.
That's why they are soft on Putin.
There is still a soft spot for Russia across much of the Left in Europe.
None of this makes sense. Even if you took the Russians and Wagner's word as gospel, it doesn't make sense.
Why is Putin making speeches at midnight, Moscow time with little notice? Why was Lukashenkos speech postponed? What was the point of a Lukashenko speech when Putin's speech said absolutely nothing?
The only thing that makes sense to me is that my opinion of Saturday. Putin is not running the country anymore. He was sent out to go on TV to announce something else and he wouldn't play ball. Lukashenko then had to cancel his speech.
Wagner has Russia by the balls somehow but we don't know how. There is absolutely no way Prigozhin has gone to Belarus without insurance. He's not stupid. He knows the windows are big.
Interesting..
Putin seems to be going back on his deal. No surprise there.
On June 26, the city military administration of the temporarily occupied Berdyansk confirmed that Tigran Ohannisyan and Nikita Khanganov were killed by the Russians .
Two 16 year old kids who took up arms against the Russian occupying forces were murdered.
If Wagner has any power remaining - this could get ugly
Did the Russians put out (or Wagner) that Nazi guy was leading the convoy?
He seems an ideal candidate that would be appropriate for punishment in the Russian and World media.
Lukashenko has postponed his speech until tomorrow ?
Having read the full transcript of the speech I'd tend to agree and will update my previous comment (apologies)
Honestly though most of it was a nothingburger.
He did say the "organisers" would be dealt with but didnt name Prigozhin. So they could still scapegoat someone else for show. Or it could just all be words to appear tough and hopes the general public will simply swallow it and forget, they have swallowed some absolute nonsense in stride up until now.
On the flipside though it's really difficult to imagine Putin letting this betrayal slide.
Prigo will hardly go down quietly if he's about to be brought to task either. But then he separated himself from his army for some reason. Very hard to know. Im confusing myself even as a write.
*Edited*
"Thanks to the Wagner soldiers who turned around to avoid bloodshed".
Ehhh? Not before they shot down 6 irreplaceable helicopters and radar plane. Killing several pilots in the process.
Only in Russia. Pack of absolute clowns.
In Russia fighting means those above you get rich.
Oof
They lost a lot more men and equipment than they let on, surely
Rank and file must be fuming about the deal Prigo made
prigozgin had his chance this weekend he is at putins mercy now
that speech summed up
Putin must have Prig in a jail cell or in the ground, no way he would change tune with the risk of them coming back
Putin looks scared
A Russian Foreign affairs scholar published this article over the weekend...
He argues that Russia will have to launch a nuclear strike against europe.
I read the article and its pretty crazy reading, and whats more scary is the comments from many Russians on it.
Many of them actually believe that they can launch nuclear weapons at Europe with little to no consequences because the USA would be too scared to retaliate.
If anyone needs to have a look at some of the thinking of many Russians to this war they should have a look at these comments, they really think that they are the good guys and the west is just out to destroy Russia.
You will need to translate from Russian to English...
They have a "greater Serbia" mentally to match Putin's revanchism. Victor Orban is another one.
Putin speaking now
Interesting times ahead this evening it looks like
They are pro-Putin propagandists. They love his regime and hate NATO....they're still bitter and seething with resentment about being bombed by them in 1999.
Putin may have just realised what a great story the US paying Prig is
Considering the above of Serbian TV.
What if Putin was shaking down the US for money, lined up on the Belarusian border. The US called phuck it enough of this crap and prepared Ukraine for invasion.
Wouldn't be the above give knowledge of invasion?
Putin, Russia, soldiers still 100% responsible and should be held accountable with respective agency took from them.
Are the Serbs really that stupid? Is it possible?
"Steven Seagal has personally asked me to direct and co-star in his next film."
Keep in mind that the Serbian regime are Putin lovers and still despise NATO over the events of 1999. I'm not sure we should be be paying much attention to the musings of a bunch of right wing nationalists and semi fascists.
Wonder what Vlad has in store
Didn’t it come out in the leaks a few weeks ago that they have infiltrated Putins top command and that’s how they knew Russia where about to invade when everyone else said they wouldn’t?
Prigizon also said in his rant about how the Kremlin’s reasons for the invasion were lies.
No way he would be allowed say that if it was staged.
