The Lithuanian prime minister compared the conflict between Prigozhin and Putin to 'spiders in a jar.'
As all eyes were on Russia during the Wagner Group's stunning advance, Lithuania's prime minister compared the rebellion to poisonous spiders trapped in a jar.
"Spiders in a jar is an unpleasant spectacle but the end result is always a reduced amount of poison, whatever the outcome," Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė tweeted on June 24.
Russian security forces meanwhile took positions inside Moscow to protect against a looming Wagner advance.
NATO allies on Russia's border said they are securing their borders in light of the insurrection inside Russia.
