After last Saturday’s Wagner uprising, the Kremlin is trying to sell the events as its own success and has already chosen a few scapegoats. In addition, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin is now speaking out and calling on the Russians to unite.
The people must stand behind President Vladimir Putin and the country must not allow itself to be divided, the politician warned during a televised government meeting. The mercenary uprising has tested Russia’s stability, he added. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov boasted that Moscow had resolved the “situation” without “further casualties and tension”.
The Russian propagandists are again very creative. For them, Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin’s “March of Justice” was an attempt by Western secret services to escalate the situation in the country. It is also a “maturity test” that the country has not passed for the first time. Not much attention is paid to the losses of the Ministry of Defense and the damage to the infrastructure of the cities where the Wagner mercenaries stayed.
Inland secret service FSB am Werk
Meanwhile, the Russian domestic secret service FSB is busy searching for perpetrators and claims to have arrested three people for collaborating with Ukraine. The FSB said on its website that it was a man in the Far East’s Amur region who had sent money to Ukraine to buy drones and other military equipment.
In addition, two residents of the Crimean city of Yalta are accused of providing information to the Ukrainian secret service about the situation on the Black Sea peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014. In addition, they would have declared themselves ready to attack Russian military facilities.
