Yevgeny Prigozhin has spoken against the leadership for the first time since the failed uprising. On the other hand, Albares believes that what happened shows that there are gaps in Russian policy that are deeper than they appear.
The head of the Wagner Group, Yevgueni Prigozhin, who led the failed uprising against the Russian leadership, has said in his initial statements that only tried to “save” the military company from disappearance, not to change power.
Prigozhin pointed out the unit would cease to exist on 1 July as a result of the intrigues of the Russian military elite, deadline set by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Seguéi Shoigu, for all volunteers who participated in the war in Ukraine to sign contracts with Defense, which the Wagner Group rejected. “Only some private army fighters agreed to sign the contract with the Ministry of Defense,” he added.
The leader of the rebellion explained that it planned to move all its troops and weapons to Rostov-on-Don on 30 June to “publicly hand over its weapons”..
According to Prigozhin, they marched in two directions, one column went to Rostov and another to Moscow. What he lamented is that his units had to respond to the attacks the columns tried to stop.
For his part, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, Jose Manuel Albareshas talked about what happened over the weekend and thinks Prigozhin showed it “Russian monolithic solidity” actually has “holes” that could be deep.
american president Joe Biden has made it clear that neither she nor NATO had anything to do with this uprising, and that he followed events live to make sure Putin was not blaming them for anything. He has clarified that he will continue to support Ukraine and that it is possible that he will meet with Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, to confirm that they share the same position on the issue.
For his part, the High President of the European Union for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell has assured that the uprising is a sign that the war in Ukraine is “cracking” power in Russia and affecting its political system. He has also said that he believes the uprising is a result of the neighboring country’s invasion and that for this reason it is “the time to continue to support Ukraine”. In any case, he has pointed out that it is not good to see a nuclear power experiencing political instability as it is perceived.
