Russian regime is fragile, future rebellions may be worse, - Nauseda
The President of Lithuania Gitanas Nauseda, commenting on the rebellion of the leader of the "Wagner" PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that the riots reflect the crisis situation in Russia.
This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to LRT.
"Certain rebellious elements are beginning to create a crisis for the regime and, most importantly, the very sequence of events has shown that the king is naked and that a force of this size can go far enough to pose a fundamental threat to the regime," he said.
Nauseda called the "unlikely" version that Prigozhin's mutiny was organized by both sides.
"In my opinion, the reputational damage to the regime is so great that this version seems very unlikely," he added.
"The Russian regime has demonstrated that it is fragile, that it is falling apart, and that similar or greater challenges can be expected in the future," he added.
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.
