The European Commission called this Sunday the rebellion of the Wagner paramilitary group in Russia “very disturbing news for the Kremlin.”
“The truth is that control in Russia has been lost for 24 hours and this should be very disturbing news for the Kremlin,” a source in Brussels told a select media group, including the EFE news agency.
The public leader insisted that the uprising, which the leader of the Wagner group Yevgeny Prigozhin was trying to carry out, “is an internal affair of Russia”, in which “there was no interference from abroad.”
“We still do not realize the events of yesterday [sábado] and it will take time,” said a source in the European Commission, citing the fact that “it is too early to say what the consequences will be.”
Avoiding assessing the implications that the insurgency could have on the future of the war in Ukraine, the same source insisted that “it is too early to say in what direction the situation will develop.”
The head of the paramilitary group, Wagner, on Saturday halted rebel movements in Russia against military commanders less than 24 hours after occupying Rostov, a key city in the south of the country for the war in Ukraine.
Prior to the suspension, Russian President Vladimir Putin described the group’s actions as a mutiny, saying it was a “mortal threat” to the Russian state and a betrayal, while Prigozhshin accused the Russian army of attacking mercenary camps that caused “a very high number of casualties,” allegations that reveal a deep tensions within Moscow’s forces over the offensive in Ukraine.
At the end of the day, Prigozhin announced that he had agreed on an agreement with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
