Prigozhin’s mutiny showed "split in Russian camp", - Macron
In the opinion of French President Emmanuel Macron, the mutiny of the leader of the "Wagner" PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin showed that "there is a split in the Russian camp."
He stated this in an interview with La Provence, Censor.NET reports.
"I followed the events hour by hour, maintaining contact with the main partners of France," he said.
According to Macron, the situation showed the fragility of the Russian army, as well as "its auxiliary forces, such as the Wagner PMC."
He added that "all this should force us to be very vigilant and fully justifies the support we provide to the Ukrainians in their resistance."
As Censor.NET reported, on the evening of 23 June, the Russian army fired a missile at the "Wagner" PMC camp. In response, the PMC leader announced a march on Moscow. Instead, the FSS accused him of armed rebellion and opened a criminal case.
Prigozhin later claimed that his troops had entered Rostov. He claims that the "Wagner" PMC has seized the city and the headquarters of the southern district. Next, Prigozhin is going to march on Moscow to remove the Russian military leadership from power.
On 24 June, Alexander Lukashenko, in agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, held talks with Yevgeny Prigozhin. As a result of the talks, the head of the Wagner PMC said that he was deploying the group's fighters to field camps.
