As events unfold following the Wagner Group’s invasion of Russia, krone.tv spoke to Ukraine’s ambassador to Austria, Wassyl Chymynez, who doesn’t rule out that the world is currently experiencing “Putin’s last days.”
In Russia, an open power struggle is raging between the Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and the leadership in Moscow: according to his words, fighters from Prigozhin’s mercenary force Wagner marched from Ukraine to Russia on Saturday evening after the mercenary chief had called for an uprising against the army leadership. Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the group of mercenaries of “treason”.
Don’t lose sight of Ukraine
Speaking to krone.tv on the Europa Forum, Ukrainian Wassyl Chymynez said of the chaos and instability in Russia that he hoped the focus on Ukraine would not be lost. Because people are still dying in his homeland.
“Enjoy from the bottle”
For him, the situation in Moscow is “the logical consequence of Putin’s long leadership”, whom he describes as a war criminal who is “far removed from the rule of law”.
Putin “made his country a prison country” and “finally took responsibility for this battle between two criminals, Putin and Prigozhin”. After all, Putin himself would have “let that Prigozhin come out of the bottle like a genie”.
You have to keep looking at it now. “I don’t rule out that these could be Putin’s last days,” Chymynez said.
