Prigozhin explained the rebellion to his employees with the word “freaked out”

The founder of PMC Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, explained to his entourage the decision to go to Rostov-on-Don and Moscow with a loss of mental balance.

Details . When asked what it was, he allegedly answered his employees as follows: “Psyhanul.” This was told to the “Project” by a person from Prigozhin’s close circle.

▪️ A similar version a few days after the rebellion was put forward by RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan. Listing the versions of Prigozhin’s rebellion, she said that he could “just go nuts”: “Of course, it’s not a secret for people who return from the war zone, their psychotype changes and their psychological state changes.”

▪️At the same time, US intelligence, as the media wrote , believes that Prigozhin’s rebellion was a pre-arranged operation. American intelligence agencies received information about the preparation of the rebellion in mid-June, The Washington Post reported. A Western intelligence source told CNN that the mutiny should have taken at least a few days to prepare.

Context . Three weeks later, serious questions still remain about what happened on June 23 and 24. Vladimir Putin called the events of these days “an armed rebellion” and its leaders “traitors.” But this did not prevent the president from meeting with the Wagner PMC commanders on June 29 in the Kremlin.

▪️According to the deal concluded with the PMC on June 24, Prigozhin and the fighters loyal to him must go to military camps in Belarus. However, three weeks after the mutiny, both Prigozhin and the PMC fighters are still likely to remain in Russia.
