☆ The fragile truce that halted Prigozhin's armed revolt against the Kremlin seems to be falling apart already
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-26 | by ( Erin Snodgrass | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Wagner forces halted their revolt on Saturday after striking a deal with the Kremlin. The president praised Wagner troops for turning back and pledged to uphold his promise that those who did so can join the Russian military or seek amnesty in Belarus. But Putin also railed against the "organizers" of the revolt — never naming Prigozhin directly — as traitors who will be "brought to justice." Prigozhin's whereabouts remain unknown, and neither Telegram post nor televised speech have offered any clarity on the future of Wagner's 25,000 troops who remain armed. Prigozhin still has thriving Wagner activities in Africa that are likely more appealing than a life of exile in Belarus.

☆ Prigozhin might want to 'steer clear of any upper floor windows' for now, says military expert: 'When you strike at a king, you must kill him'

A military expert says Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin "may want to steer clear" of windows. Wechsler added that Prigozhin should remember: "When you strike at a king, you must kill him." Two critics of Putin's war in Ukraine have died in the last year after falling from building windows. He came to an agreement because Putin has long been his patron, not his adversary — the Russian military elite is his adversary," Wechsler told Insider. "In the end, Putin and Prigozhin avoided the kind of conflict that would have risked each or both of them losing everything, but the resulting agreement has diminished them both.

☆ Wagner Group shot down 6 Russian helicopters and a plane during its mini rebellion, Ukraine says, weakening Putin's air force at a time when it could prove critical

Wagner forces destroyed six Russian helicopters and a plane amid its short rebellion, Ukraine says. It's too soon to see how the chaos between Wagner and the Russian military establishment will affect things on the ground, she said. In one year of defending against Russia, Ukraine had shot down about 30 of Russia's helicopters, Forbes reported in February. At that time, Russia had about 300 helicopters — around half of them attack helicopters — based near its western borders, The Kyiv Post reported. As the recent chaos unfolded in Russia, Ukraine said it had managed to push forward in its counteroffensive.

June 25 (Reuters) - Chaos in Russia works to Kyiv's advantage, Ukraine officials said on Saturday, but it remains to be seen whether President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and his army can capitalise on the disorder caused this weekend as mercenaries marched towards Moscow. "Today the world saw that the masters of Russia do not control anything. Just complete chaos," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address, urging Ukraine's allies to use the moment and send more weapons to Kyiv. "Any chaos behind the enemy lines works in our interests," State-run Ukrinform news agency quoted Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba as saying on Saturday. Putin called Prigozhin's actions a "blow to Russia", but there were no immediate signs his rule was threatened.

Military strategists say that Prigozhin's mutiny may be the beginning of the end of Putin's reign. Retired major general Mick Ryan told Insider Yevgeny Prigozhin's days are also likely numbered. Ryan said the uprising against the Russian military will have consequences for the war in Ukraine. Prigozhin, despite being exiled to Belarus after staging the coup, isn't likely long for this world, either, Ryan added. My sense is Prigozhin probably shouldn't be booking accommodation in a retirement home, you know," Ryan told Insider.

Yevgeny Prigozhin's rebellion is over but the damage to Vladimir Putin is irreversible, experts say. The Wagner boss showed that the Russian president no longer enjoys a monopoly of force in his country. Among Moscow's elites, "there is the growing feeling that he is a lame duck," a Russian journalist said. But there is the growing feeling that he is a lame duck, and they have to prepare for Russia after Putin." [...]Suggestions that Prigozhin's rebellion, the Kremlin's response, and Lukashenko's mediation were all staged by the Kremlin are absurd.

☆ Who paid the $500,000 to bail George Santos out of jail? We'll probably find out on Thursday.

A group of three people are on the hook for $500,000 to keep Rep. George Santos out of jail. On Thursday at noon Eastern Time, documents revealing the identities of the three people who paid the scandal-plagued congressman's $500,000 bond will be unsealed after US District Judge Joanna Seybert denied Santos' most recent appeal. The judge allowed Santos to walk free instead of going to jail ahead of trial on the condition that he stays in Washington, DC and New York, and agrees to a $500,000 bond. But in a highly unusual decision, the magistrate judge who imposed the bond allowed the identities of those bail sponsors to remain secret. One of the three people who originally agreed to sponsor the bond already dropped out, Murray said.

Parliamentary speaker Igor Grosu said the court's decision was "an important victory for Moldovan democracy".

The forests around Vovchansk were burning, white smoke drifting through the pines and billowing above the treetops where artillery shells had started fires. Vovchansk and the other towns and villages along Ukraine’s northeastern border with Russia have lived under shellfire from Russian forces across the border for months. But near the northern border the anxiety centered on the continued cross-border hostilities, with both sides trading heavy volleys of artillery shells this week. Vovchansk, two and a half miles from the Russian border, is mostly a ghost town. Barely 1,000 people remain after months of shelling that has damaged many residential houses and central buildings, and most were hiding indoors.

REUTERS/Mike SegarNEW YORK, June 1 (Reuters) - The hope for a "free China" lives on in a new Manhattan museum dedicated to China's 1989 suppression of pro-democracy demonstrations around Tiananmen Square, exhibit organizers said on Thursday ahead of the 34th anniversary of the crackdown. The June 4th Memorial Museum in New York will be the only such permanent exhibition in the world, following the 2021 closure of a similar museum in Hong Kong under pressure from authorities. Public memorials of the crackdown were once allowed in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong police have barred a vigil there since 2020, citing COVID-19 concerns. Wang Dan, another former Tiananmen student leader who helped establish the museum, said he felt it was his obligation to show his respect for the protesters who died.

A clampdown around the time of the election resulted in all significant opposition figures being jailed or driven into exile. After his arrest, Protasevich was shown on state television tearfully confessing to involvement in anti-government protests and plotting to topple Lukashenko.

“We see free speech threatened on all sides, from the left and the right,” Suzanne Nossel, who has been PEN America’s chief executive since 2013, said in an interview before the gala. But this is a really important time to shore it up as a cultural and constitutional value. That’s part of what the gala does.”The gala itself has been affected by the complexities of the current moment. “As a free speech organization, we must go to the utmost lengths to avoid sidelining speech or being seen to do so,” she said. “Nothing puts you at ease at an event like seeing Salman Rushdie,” he said to titters.

"Move Forward chooses an uncompromising mode of change while Pheu Thai choose a compromising mode of change," Prajak said. Pheu Thai has been far more measured in its messaging on the monarchy - and that could leave it with more options. "Pheu Thai is holding its cards close to its chest," said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, a political scientist at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University. "I think Pheu Thai will stick with Move Forward," he said, adding abandoning its ally would make Pheu Thai look as if it was betraying the will of the people. "I still think that a conservative coalition ... with Senate backing is far more likely to emerge than a pro-democracy led coalition," Abuza said.

"Pheu Thai got hammered because we did not disrupt ourselves enough. Move Forward's trend overcame Pheu Thai and the other parties that had money," he said. Thaksin also pledged loyalty to the palace and stressed Pheu Thai would not back any actions by Move Forward that would impact the monarchy.
