Putin has never really 'explained what this war is all about' • FRANCE 24 English

For months, the outspoken millionaire head of the Wagner private military contractor bombarded Russia’s military leaders with expletive-ridden insults in a rift that has weakened the country’s forces amid the war in Ukraine. On Friday, Yevgeny Prigozhin appeared to take a step too far. He accused Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu of ordering a rocket strike on the field camps for his mercenary troops, with a huge number of casualties, and said he would move to punish him. That's when Russian authorities struck back, with the country's top counterterrorism organization launching a criminal inquiry against Prigozhin on charges of fomenting an “armed rebellion” over threats to oust Shoigu. It was a startling turn of events in Moscow: After more than two decades of rigidly controlled rule by President Vladimir Putin, the worst infighting spilled out in the open among his top lieutenants. And it came as the war in Ukraine reached the 16-month mark and Kyiv's forces were probing Russian defenses in the initial stages of a counteroffensive. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on this unprecedented event, FRANCE 24 is joined by Peter Zalmayev, Director of the Eurasian Democracy Initiative.

What? He’s not blaming the west for working with Wagner??? Shocking!!!😂

To enlarge his ego and resurrect some relic from a bygone era that's why.
He apparently was dismayed when the USSR collapsed and wants to recreate it.

Putin was on video for over 2 hours explaining why he invaded.

[willscheck]

he said he was going after the nazis, problem that war 80 years ago he need to sober up.

But this is not necessarily good news for Ukraine, maybe the new split regime will be more difficult to control, resulting in the early use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine! 😅

[Kenjikah]

Yes he did, you weren't listening..

[janettemasiello]

Come on everyone knows what it's about. Why are you being so disingenuous?
Maybe you should learn the history and the truth behind it.
For a content creator,
that is pretty lame.

Emotional damage to you and to everyone opposing Putin.
