Ukraine Says ‘Tiny Cracks’ Emerging in Kremlin After Prighozin Comments
Cracks are beginning to show in the Kremlin over recent comments made by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner Group, a paramilitary outfit fighting in Ukraine, according to a Ukrainian intelligence official.
Andriy Yusov, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s military intelligence agency GUR, said on Ukrainian public television that Russia’s elite is becoming “increasingly depressed” amid Russian President Vladimir Putin’s faltering war.
Yusov was commenting on Prigozhin’s remarks last week in which he called on Putin to end his ongoing “special military operation” in Ukraine and focus instead on the territories it occupied in the country.
“Russian propaganda in the domestic market remains effective and, basically, Solovyov and Skabeeva (Russian state TV hosts) can indeed tell ordinary [Russian citizens] tomorrow that they have won…” Yusov said.
