Mykhailo Podolyak, one of the closest advisers to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said on Saturday that "everything is just beginning in Russia" after Wagner group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin's forces took over the Southern Military District building in Rostov and are allegedly in command of the city's military facilities and added that there is a "split between the elites" in the country.
"The events gained widespread publicity in Russia and even an insulting legal evaluation by the #FSB Special Purpose Center, the National Anti-Terrorist Center, and the Prosecutor General's Office. The split between the elites is too obvious. Agreeing and pretending that everything is settled won't work. Someone must definitely lose: either Prigozhin (with a fatal ending), or the collective "anti-Prygozhin" (#Putin's group and the "Ozero" cooperative).
