"The fact he is meeting crowds now suggests he no longer views illness as the biggest threat to him. The historian said it's unknown how much power Mr Putin has managed to regain after the aborted mutiny two weekends ago, but added: "This is not the same Putin we have known all these years." It seems to be that Putin cannot punish him," he added. It is very strange that nothing has happened to him yet. His Wagner group shot down six helicopters and one plane. "It seems to be that Putin accused Prigozhin of treason, and usually for something like this people are punished. "It probably was the plan originally to create the impression that the Wagner Group was going to be sent into exile in Belarus, but I don’t think this is happening, I think Prigozhin is in Russia and his private army is also there."ĭr Felshtinsky said Mr Prigozhin has "major support" and the "only organisation" that could support him would be the FSB. He told Sky News: "I would say it would be good news for us if didn't go to Minsk, because we would be concerned that they might try and take control of nuclear weapons in Belarus, so I would say it is better if they stay in Russia. A historian has told Sky News he believes Vladimir Putin is only still in power because Russia's security service (FSB) is allowing him to stay there.ĭr Yuri Felshtinsky says he believes Wagner Group boss Yevgeny Prighozhin has the backing of the FSB, which is why he hasn't been dealt with more harshly since his abortive coup attempt last month.
