In Russia, at least 14 generals support Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the "Wagner" Communist Party.
This was stated by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov, Reuters reports.
According to him, there are many commanders in the Russian army who sympathize with Prigozhin. In addition, they do not want to continue following the dictator Vladimir Putin.
He specified that at the moment he knows of 14 Russian generals who support the leader of the PMK "Wagner".
In addition, Reuters journalists spoke with Russians who witnessed the mutiny of the Wagnerites. According to the publication, people support Prigozhin.
In particular, residents of the Russian garrison town of Boguchar, which lies on the M-4 highway in the direction of Moscow and where a Russian military unit is stationed, said that the military did not offer any resistance to the "Wagnerians", and that a significant number of people in the town, including military personnel , sympathized with the rebels.
"Who else should we support? At least one worthy person who was not afraid," said one of the local residents in Moscow.
Prigozhin's Rebellion
We will remind you that a few weeks ago, the founder of the "Wagner" mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin led a military mutiny of the Russian military leadership, and marched to Rostov-on-Don, and then to Moscow.
However, the rebellion quickly ended after Prigozhin's negotiations with the self-proclaimed president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko. After that, they decided to send Prigozhin and some of his mercenaries to Belarus.
And on July 10, information appeared that Prigozhin had met with Putin, and the commanders of "Wagner" and Putin's security forces were also present at the meeting. Then the Russian president said that he "listened to the explanations" from the mercenaries and offered them "options for employment and combat use."
