Gen. Kyrylo Budanov, the Ukrainian defense intelligence chief, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-taking-regeneron-drug-remdesivir-therapy-for-coronavirus-diagnosis-ex-wh-doctor-explains\/\" title=\"Trump taking Regeneron drug, Remdesivir therapy for coronavirus diagnosis: ex-WH doctor explains\">told<\/a> the War Zone. \u201cWill they be successful in doing that? We&#8217;ll see with time. So in any case, all of such <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ex-cia-head-petraeus-prigozhin-lost-his-wagner-group-should-be-very-careful-around-open-windows\/\" title=\"Former CIA Director Petraeus warns Prigozhin: Watch out near open windows, you lost Wagner Group.\">potential assassination attempts<\/a> will not be fast.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Shift from Free Trade by GOP is Irreversible, Says Trump Trade Representative Lightizer<\/h3>\n<p>Prigozhin halted his forces&#8217; lightning march on Moscow when they reached the outskirts of the capital. Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko claimed to have brokered a deal to provide &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blinken-rebukes-china-for-human-rights-abuses-in-call-with-chinese-diplomat\/\" title=\"Blinken Rebukes China for Human Rights Abuses in Call with Chinese Diplomat\">security guarantees<\/a>&#8221; to Prigozhin, thus avoiding a confrontation between Wagner Group fighters and Kremlin loyalists. Russian President Vladimir Putin has pledged to honor this agreement, but the uprising has significantly damaged his reputation as the ruling power in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems that Putin is not the only master in town and that he has lost what Machiavelli said is the basis of a state, which is the monopoly of force,\u201d European Union High Representative Josep Borrell told reporters Thursday. \u201cPutin has lost the monopoly of force, and certainly [an] unstable Russia becomes also a risk. Until now we were looking at Russia as a threat, because it was a force, and force has been used in Ukraine. Now, we have to look at Russia as a risk because of the internal instability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russian officials have claimed that the government and society have &#8220;consolidated&#8221; behind Putin during the Prigozhin incident.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Trials have always made &#8230; Russia stronger,\u201d Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Friday. \u201cIt will be the same this time, too. Moreover, we can see that the process has already begun.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, these assurances have not convinced Russian dissidents or international observers, especially considering Prigozhin&#8217;s initial success in occupying a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russian-spies-ordered-to-assassinate-prigozhin-ukrainian-intelligence-chief-says\/\" title=\"Ukrainian intel chief claims Russian spies tasked with 'killing' Prigozhin.\">major regional military headquarters<\/a> in southern Russia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it were true, then Prigozhin wouldn\u2019t have even made it as far as Rostov,\u201d Russian historian Andrey Zubov told Meduza.<\/p>\n<p>The Wagner Group uprising came to an end after Putin and the FSB denounced Prigozhin&#8217;s march. Zubov commented on Putin&#8217;s leadership, stating:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cPutin [\u2026] has inherited that same gang of Bolsheviks that took power in 1917. Putin basically serves as the head of the Cheka, the Bolshevik party\u2019s secret police, and its successor organizations, who got rid of anyone that stood in their way,\u201d Zubov said, according to a Meduza summary of his remarks. \u201cThat\u2019s one of the main characteristics of Putinism, says Zubov: \u2018an inherited criminal system, based on the abuse of power,\u2019 which they actively continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Maj. Gen. Budanov, while confirming that the FSB has been instructed to kill Prigozhin, expressed uncertainty about whether Putin can rely on the FSB to carry out all his orders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will take them some time to have the proper approaches and to reach the stage when they&#8217;re ready to add a huge operation,\u201d he said. &#8220;But once again, I&#8217;d like to underline that it&#8217;s a big open question. Would they be successful in fulfilling that? Will they dare to execute that order?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian intelligence officials have been instructed to eliminate paramilitary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin as a response to the failed uprising by the Wagner Group, says Ukraine&#8217;s military spy.
