Do you seriously believe that Lukashenko is just some random third party here? This was a way to provide a way out for Prigozhin and diffuse the situation.
I'm certainly not saying Lukashenko isn't in allegiance with the Kremlin, however it's true to say that the Kremlin didn't negotiate down the coup. Lukashenko did.
Also it's most likely these terms were somewhat favourable to Wagner and don't involve its complete integration into Russia's military and directly under MoD control.
I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make here to be honest. Kremlin found a way to resolve the situation without bloodshed, and where Prigozhin was removed from wagner while preserving wagner as an effective organization. Wagner is in fact now signing contracts with the MoD, so yes it is directly under the control of the MoD going forward. Basically, Russia managed to resolve the situation in the best way possible.
The Kremlin didn't find a way to resolve the situation, Lukashenko brokered a deal between Putin and Prigozhin. Without Lukashenko's intervention the Kremlin had no way of backing down. Lukashenko is an ally of the Kremlin, but he is not the Kremlin, and the Kremlin had already taken the position of harsh punishment.
I don't think your take is accurate. Wagner isn't directly under the control of MoD, rather some of Wagner's troops are being given the option of joining/signing contracts. In fact, it's only the ones who did not take part that get this option.
The implication is that the rest of Prigozhin's troops, perhaps his most loyal and most effective, might be going with him to Belarus.
The best way possible would have been to not have the insurrection to begin with. Ideally, by properly supplying troops as promised.
If that's what you genuinely believe then what else is there to tell you. I also love how you just made up a whole bunch of stuff like Prigozhin's troops going to Belarus. You could totally get a job at one of US propaganda rags writing nonsense all day.
If that’s what you genuinely believe then what else is there to tell you.
Got to love how ambiguous this statement is. Are you saying it wouldn't have been better to not have an insurrection in the first place?
I also love how you just made up a whole bunch of stuff like Prigozhin’s troops going to Belarus.
I'm not making things up, I'm saying there is an implication that Prigozhin's most loyal troops, at least some of the 5,000-8,000 people who were involved in the march, might be going with him to Belarus. I can't imagine they'll want to stay in Russia any more than Prigozhin after this. They won't be allowed to work with the MoD, but they've been given protection under the deal and they have to go somewhere. Following Prigozhin to Belarus seems most likely.
It's certainly less far fetched than you saying that all of Wagner will be integrated into the MoD, which directly contradicts Dmitry Peskov's statement outlining the deal. Only some of Wagner will be given the opportunity to sign contracts. Up to 20,000 will have the opportunity, but not all will sign.
You are literally making things up here. There is zero actual evidence to support your claim that any wagner troops are following Prigozhin anywhere. You just pulled this out of your ass based what you can and can't imagine, and trying to sell that as some fact here.
Meanwhile, read the link you yourself posted till you understand what it says.
I didn't present anything as fact, you're the one distorting things here. I simply pointed out that many thousands of Wagner troops won't be a part of the Russian military anymore, and suggested that the most likely thing they will do is continue following their current leader.
It seems like a recurring tactic of yours is to deflect people to other things, without actually arguing a single specific point yourself.
There is nothing likely about that statement. The fact that you believe an absurdity does not make it likely. The facts don't support your assertions. And I don't need to keep justifying myself to you here. The only recurring tactic here is you confidently asserting nonsensical things and then acting like they're obviously true.
What any reasonable person would do is suggest an alternative likelihood. What will happen to the 5,000+ Wagner troops that the MoD won't allow to sign contracts?
If the 5,000 troops aren't going to be allowed to sign contracts with the MoD then they obviously become civilians. One has to be living in an alternate reality to think that they're just going to follow Prigozhin around like some praetorian guard. The fact that you even consider this to be a likely scenario shows that you have absolutely no understanding of the situation in Russia.
The other technique you always resort to is attacking the credibility of the person you're arguing with, rather than arguing any specific point. This suggests you know your reasoning is weak.
Just to recap, you've made a bunch of speculation that isn't grounded in any actual facts. Then when you got called out on doing that you started spewing more nonsense. Now you're claiming that it's actually my reasoning that's weak. What an utter 🤡 you are.
You're completely forgetting the part where you said all of Wagner would be integrated into the Russian military, in contradiction with official statements.
The organization will be integrated, and there will be no more wagner as an independent PMC. It's absolutely hilarious you're still here, it's like you just need to keep talking because deep down you realize how wrong you are and you think that if you just keep adding more comments you'll dig yourself out in some way. 😂
What's hilarious is that you deflect and throw shade rather than admitting your mistake.
Wagner is in fact now signing contracts with the MoD, so yes it is directly under the control of the MoD going forward.
Wagner is not signing contracts, some troops from within Wagner are being given the opportunity to sign contracts. Not all of these will sign.
It's ok to admit you didn't explain things properly, you know. Rather than digging further and hoping you'll either bury others in your piles or get deep enough that no one will bother to look for you anymore.
Putin later stated that the Russian authorities would not prosecute Prigozhin or his troops, and offered Wagner fighters a choice to either sign contracts with Russia’s Defense Ministry or other security agencies, return home, or move to neighboring Belarus.
Putin literally offered what I said some troops might do.
Yeah, that's different from your claim that there would be a wagner in Belarus. Anybody with a couple of brain cells to bang together understands that Belarus wouldn't want a rogue PMC any more than Russia would after what happened. It's frankly stunning that you can't understand that and still trying to pretend like you had a valid point. The fact that you're still commenting on this thread is kind of hilarious. Seems like it's living rent free in your head.
Where have I said anything that was bullshit? You're the one who kept making statements that contradict official announcements, all in an effort to throw petty insults that don't even hit the mark. You miss on your points, you miss on your attacks.

>PMC contractors who refused to take part in the mutiny - and whole units did not - will be allowed to sign contracts with the Russian Defense Ministry, Peskov said.

Most of these troops were part of the Storm-Z forces, people who were taken out of prison and granted freedom in exchange for service.
It's about as likely as Prigozhin making it safely to Belarus. One way or another, many of Prigozhin's troops are probably going to follow him.
You certainly sound like you're an expert on the subject, so whatever you say there.

Where did I say there would be Wagner in Belarus?
How many brain cells do you need to bang together before you start seeing sense?
I just love how you have this compulsive need to reply. Read your comments when you're sober maybe.
I have a compulsive need to call out bullshit where I see it, and you just keep giving me compulsions.
If by call out you mean spew, then you're bang on.
Where have I said anything that was bullshit? You're the one who kept making statements that contradict official announcements, all in an effort to throw petty insults that don't even hit the mark. You miss on your points, you miss on your attacks.
whatever helps you sleep at night
Damn lol someone else thinks your replies are low effort. I'm gonna give you an upvote out of sympathy.
