After a week of silence, the head of Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin returns to be heard in a 40-second audio to announce "new victories at the front in the near future".»

A very brief message in which the former Kremlin chef has just the time to reiterate that the advance undertaken towards Moscow was "a march of justice aimed at fighting the traitors and mobilizing society".
"Today we need your support more than ever, thank you for this" he articulates in his message, addressing who knows who: whether to the Russians in general or to the Wagner militiamen. Nothing is known about the fate of the latter either. It is unclear how many of them have decided to follow their boss to Belarus.

Meanwhile, Prigozhin's number one target, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, speaking today for the first time about what happened, denounced the plans to destabilize Russia, stating that they "failed because the armed forces showed loyalty to their oath and their duties".

The fact that the audio was not broadcast by Concord's Telegram channel seems to confirm the ongoing process of dismantling not only the military but also the media and commercial empire of the head of Wagner. And now thousands of Concord employees could risk their jobs.

Even former President Dmitry Medvedev, who remained silent for over a week after the Wagner rebellion, has returned to posting his daily Telegram comments, the latest of which states that " a nuclear apocalypse is not only possible, but but also quite probable" . Today, Medvedev added, the world is at the mercy of a "much worse" confrontation than during the Cuban missile crisis.
