"We are watching": in the USA reacted to the military coup of Yevgeny Prigogine in the Russian Federation - the media
So, according to the material, US President Joe Biden was informed about the development of the situation with mercenaries. "We are watching the situation and will consult with allies and partners about these events," Hoja said in a statement. It is also reported that officials consider Prigogine's latest comments, in which he called the Russian military leadership "evil" as something more than his usual rhetoric.
So, as it is in the material, unlike some previous statements by Prigogine about the incompetence of the Russian Ministry of Defense, these comments seem to have not been followed by a Ukrainian military breakthrough or tactical success. According to journalists, it is unclear whether the US has any expectations of how and what Prigogine intends. Two unnamed Biden administration officials have stated that national security representatives in the White House have caution.
They do not want to interfere until they have a clearer idea of what is happening. Recall that the expert told whether Wagner PVC will be able to seize power in Moscow. According to the British analyst Mark Galeotti, Moscow is surrounded by a large number of troops and security forces, which are subordinate to various agencies. Moreover, Wagner PVC is very dependent on the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
In addition, the Generals of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation ask the Wagner PEC to stop. According to Lieutenant General Alekseev, the Wagnerivtsi try to encroach on the exclusive right of Vladimir Putin to appoint a higher military leadership, which is a coup. Also at night, Prigogine said that Wagner PEC is going to Rostov-on-Don. According to him, the head of the General Staff of the Russian Federation ordered to raise aviation to attack the columns of mercenaries.
