Zelensky called the benefits of Prigozhin’s rebellion

Podolyak said that Prigozhin “almost nullified Putin.”

Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the OP, commented on the decision of the leader of the Wagner PMC to stop the column of his fighters from moving to Moscow and leave Rostov.

He called Prigogine’s choice phenomenal.

“You almost nullified Putin, took control of the central authorities, reached Moscow and suddenly … you give it back. Because one very specific intermediary with a dubious reputation (Lukashenko) promised security guarantees from the person (Putin) who ordered the your destruction. And for the fear that the Putin elite has experienced over the past 24 hours, this order will certainly be carried out..”, he wrote .

At the same time, Podolyak noted that these were not without benefit, because Prigozhin humiliated Putin and the state and showed that there was no longer a monopoly on violence.
