Prigozhin says it's over:

"They were going to dismantle PMC Wagner. We came out on 23 June to the March of Justice. In a day, we walked to nearly 200km away from Moscow. In this time, we did not spill a single drop of blood of our fighters. Now, the moment has come when blood…

"They were going to dismantle PMC Wagner. We came out on 23 June to the March of Justice. In a day, we walked to nearly 200km away from Moscow. In this time, we did not spill a single drop of blood of our fighters. Now, the moment has come when blood may spill. That's why, understanding the responsibility for spilling Russian blood on one of the sides, we are turning back our convoys and going back to field camps according to the plan."

Whoever is running #Wagner's Telegram channel is deeply disappointed that #Prigozhin folded.#Russia #Moscow pic.twitter.com/KBti1VtcdO

“Prigozhin was offered to give up the idea of going to Moscow, and in response was offered the security of Wagner. They also promised to resolve the issue of Shoigu and Gerasimov,” Russian media report.

You won't believe it but some Wagner guys seem really mad about this.

Prigozhin only thinks about Prigozhin and he didn't want to sign the July 1st contract.

Who the fuck knows where that leaves us, Putin looks incredibly fucking weak now, Prigozhin looks like a coward to his Wagner fighters.

Prigozhin is a fucking idiot if this is the end of it, he's a fucking dead man walking, he thinks Putin is going to be like "no biggie bro, you only performed a coup, marched on Moscow, killed some Russian soldiers and blew a few of our helicopters, all is forgiven"

What the FUCK, Prigozhin, Lol.

But then again, Prigozhin may have overestimated his support, even if he took Moscow, it was extremely unlikely he would have been able to hold it. Wagner doesn't have the strength, they'd need mass desertions from the Russian Military.

Either Prigozhin is a moron or Putin is a coward (and therefore, a moron).

We just have to wait and see which one it is, if Putin capitulated to Prigozhin then his "strong man" image has just been destroyed to anyone thinking about wanting power in Russia.

Er, so Putin caved to a putschist with an army and agreed to make the MoD more amenable to him, after the putschist showed how well he can challenge the regime. And the guy gets to live? Things are wild, weird and unpredictable in Russia but this doesn’t quite convince. https://t.co/jg9mToj0fX

Lmfao if Putin caved for a small group of terrorists.

Guess Prigozhin is the new President of Russia in all but name.
