prigozhin said a couple percent did that. and putin is afraid of them. they are trying to put some division saying they were deceived to do this mutiny. joining us and let s throw your commanders under the bus. prigozhin might be in belarus. we know the president of belarus, lukashenko said he was the one who negotiated this. you heard vladimir putin give a shout out in this speech. masha brought up in an article they wrote for the new yorker, isn t there a question of whether it s a good idea to put prigozhin on the side of lukashenko. lukashenko has been relying on vladimir putin for security support, for helping him maintain power. if he has the head of a private mercenary who s been pretty successful in ukraine suddenly on his side, who s to say that lukashenko doesn t start using prigozhin against vladimir putin. doesn t need vladimir putin in the same way that he did a few days ago.
