Officials insisted Putin was in the Kremlin throughout the biggest threat to his 23\u002Dyear reign but they also said that he would not appear on television to reassure Russians.
Kremlin sources told Meduza, a Russian opposition news website, that Prigozhin had asked to negotiate a deal on Saturday with the Kremlin after he realised that his call for regular army regiments to desert had failed.
“Prigozhin needed a way of getting out and saving face. That’s where Lukashenko came in,” the source said. Tsargrad, a nationalist Orthodox media unit that has been a strong supporter of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, went even further. “We face perhaps a decade or more of dealing with a deeply dangerous and unpredictable Russia without even the sort of superficial certainty we have of having Putin in power,” he said.
Far more important was the lack of genuine support from ordinary people and also from the Russian security services.
