Most of Prigozhins theatrics are meant to win the mobiks over to his side in the coming Russian civil war.

When Prigozhin starts talking about a firing squad for Putin, get back to me.

The fact that Putin cant keep this dog on a leash is hilarious. The leadership in Russia couldn't get any weaker if they tried.

No territory to loose when it wasn't yours to gain to begin with.

[josephtraficanti]

I think the loss of territory was simply taking the Russian view of why it fights wars.

I have heard nothing about Ukraine

Wagner Chief : “We lost 20, 000 men in Bakhmut. “

Also Wagner Chief. : “It’s not my problem anymore.”

[Pacoooo]

He never underestimate his enemies, hes a smart soldier.

I should point out I know almost nothing about anything but this feels like some sort of theatre play between him and putain. He would by now got another one torn if that wasn't the case.

You gotta admit, no matter how many atrocities and violence Prigozhin and his troops have committed, he seems to be the only Russian commander that actually has a realistic grasp on the situation and has the balls to tell off Putin.

Edit 6/24: Well, this just got awkward…

How do you loose something that is not yours..

*The territory was NEVER THEIRS to lose* 💙💛

When Russia mined the dam months ago, Zelensky asked for international observers to monitor the dam. He was ignored.

[KanadianKing]

I recall before the invasion began, when Lukashenko and Putin were denying that their buildup of military along the Ukraine border was for invasion, Lukashenko said "Whoever fights a battle with guns nowadays, it is political suicide". How right he was... unfortunately they didn't stick to that. Once Russia crumbles, Lukashenko will turning his knees to whoever will take him in.

The Wagner chief pulled out because he knew when the offensive kicks off he would be mangled

If you don’t think your college degree is worth you paying for it, then it’s certainly not worth me paying for it.

[ferventtrickster]

I can already imagine Jake Broe talking about Prigozhin lol his favorite Russian

[achernar]

From taking Ukraine in 3 days to now there will be land losses at the Russian Federation border 😂

[mikeleichtweis]

Putin instructs him to say these things and America just eats it up....over and over and over

[simonclark]

Prigozhin... the gift that keeps on giving.

[kanr]

That territory is not Russian anyway. They took it by force
