Russia’s Weakness Is Obvious: Ukraine’s Zelenskyy On Wagner Mutiny

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday that the long-running feud among warlords in Russia is a result of its invasion of Ukraine.

“Russia’s weakness is obvious. Full-scale weakness,” Zelenskyy tweeted after the Wagner Group captured territory in several Russian regions.

“Everyone who chooses the path of evil destroys himself. Who sends columns of troops to destroy the lives of another country and cannot stop them from fleeing and betraying when life resists. Who terrorises with missiles, and when they are shot down, humiliates himself to receive Shahed drones. Who despises people and throws hundreds of thousands into the war, in order to eventually barricade himself in the Moscow region from those whom he himself armed. For a long time, Russia used propaganda to mask its weakness and the stupidity of its government,” he tweeted.

“And now there is so much chaos that no lie can hide it. And all this is one person, who again and again scares by the year 1917, although he is able to result in nothing else but this,” he added.

“Russia’s weakness is obvious. Full-scale weakness. And the longer Russia keeps its troops and mercenaries on our land, the more chaos, pain, and problems it will have for itself later. It is also obvious. Ukraine is able to protect Europe from the spread of Russian evil and chaos,” he further said.

“We keep our resilience, unity, and strength. All our commanders, all our soldiers know what to do. Glory to Ukraine!,” he concluded.

Zelenskyy’s long Twitter post comes on a day Russian President Vladimir Putin is facing his biggest domestic crisis since he ordered the invasion of Ukraine.

Prigozhin said that he sent an armed convoy on a 1,200-km charge towards Moscow on Saturday in an unlikely attempt to oust the military leadership.
