History in the making as Wagner’s Prigozhin confronts the Kremlin • FRANCE 24 English

Wagner boss Yevgeni Prigozhin was declared a “traitor” by Russian President Vladimir Putin for marching his troops towards Moscow over the weekend. He was then ostensibly granted an amnesty and allowed to go into exile in Belarus. But Prigozhin is still under investigation, say Russian news agencies. FRANCE 24's Leela Jacinto explains the chaos and stakes in Russia today.

I'm fairly sure Wagner would be pronounced with a 'V' sound not "w".

Afraid you should be Putin, in France how you call it petite Putin?

[ethanrichardson]

the infallible man of Moscow was the founder of wagner group and its noble aims...why his glorious name is not on the list of exile ?!

There's an old say in Russia "when something goes wrong, blame America and everything will be fine"...it's cultural.

Feel dumping too many words, endless dramatics are not really essential in talk shows. Content and precision are key.

There’s no compassion or amnesty in Russia otherwise it wouldn’t be a totalitarian state.
