Russia will emerge 'stronger' following attempted Wagner mutiny, says minister - BBC News

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said the nation would emerge "stronger" than before, following an attempted Wagner rebellion.

Russia's notorious mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, of the Wagner group, staged an apparent insurrection, sending an armoured convoy towards Moscow.

However, by the end of the day, Prigozhin had called the whole thing off and ordered his men back to base.

After the failed mutiny, the Russian authorities said Wagner would be disarmed but its members would escape prosecution. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the military could either join the Russian army, go home or go to Belarus.

Lavrov would've been more convincing if he hadn't jumped onto a plane as soon as he heard about it.

Zelenski was a comedian who became a politician, Lavrov was a politician who's becoming a decent comedian

I wish Russia the best in fighting it's war against Russia

Ignorance is knowledge, cowardice is bravery, up is down, black is white, east is west, left is right. And weakness and disorganization is strength. Got it, thanks.

honestly, stop blaming everyone else for your mercenary dispute, these people are like toddlers.

Translation: oh crap, we are doomed 😂😂

I lost count how many times Russians officials said that all of what's happening will make Russia stronger and yet here we are with Russia speeding towards becoming an XL version of North Korea, isolated and hated by everyone who values truth, democracy and humanity.

''Russia will emerge stronger''
I totally agree! The people of Russia are going to kick Putin and his regime off the scene and gain back their country for a real democracy where there rights are protected!

I just want to point out that Wagner took more territory in Russia in one day than they did in Ukraine in over 8 months.

Russia WILL try to APPEAR stronger, as usual.

Define the word "stronger". Maybe our understanding is very different.

[Sheddweller]

I can't work out weather he's making the cool-aid, or drinking it, either way, he's full of it.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Or broken and bleeding lying paralyzed in a corner.

[joe.oneill]

Basically, Lavrov is saying "We're going to grow larger shrimp."

If incompetence is a weakness, Putin & the Russian military couldn't get much weaker.

[calisto]

And by "stronger" he means more "autocratic" 😆

[AndyMetalHeadBR]

Not stronger but deeper in their own Hell!

[Burgstaller]

The image of pure evil peering through specticles.

This guy has to be the most deluded person within this mess

[aguedoflorencejrjalin]

if russia is getting stronger, why cant you end the war.strength is not measured by going to war but by the manner you uplift the spirit of self-determination.russianis afraid to stop waging war bec it is weak.a strong country knows how to stop and put things into proper order.
