On Saturday, the Ukrainian presidency considered that the head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, had humiliated Russian President Vladimir Putin with his armed rebellion.
“Prigozhin humiliated Putin/the state and showed that there is no longer a monopoly on violence,” said aide to the Ukrainian president, Mykhailo Podolak, on Twitter.
This came following Statements of the Ukrainian PresidentVolodymyr Zelensky, Saturday, said Putin was “very afraid” of the Wagner Group’s rebellion and “maybe he’s hiding somewhere” outside Moscow.
“It is clear that the Kremlin man is very afraid and may be hiding somewhere. I am sure he is no longer in Moscow,” Zelensky said in his daily address, adding that the Russian president “created this threat himself.”
“The world saw today that the Russian leadership has no control over anything. Absolutely nothing. It’s complete chaos,” the Ukrainian president stated.
And the Kremlin spokesman had confirmed, earlier, on Saturday, that Putin was still working from his office in the Russian capital, despite the armed rebellion launched by the Wagner Group on Friday night, before the group’s leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced the end of “our bloodshed” and with Belarusian mediation.
“The president works from the Kremlin,” the spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said, according to RIA Novosti news agency, in response to a question regarding information circulating on social media that Putin left Moscow because of the rebellion.
