Prigozhin and the "Wagnerites" may attack Kyiv from Belarus, - British general

The owner of the private military company Wagner, Evgeny Prigozhin, being in Belarus, may pose a threat to Ukraine. It is possible that "Putin's cook" will prepare an attack of his mercenaries on Kyiv from the territory of Belarus.

This fear was voiced by British retired general Richard Dannat on Sky News."The fact that he [Prigozhin] has gone to Belarus causes some concern," the former British Army Chief of General Staff said.

In his opinion, if Prigozhin "has retained combat-ready forces around him, then he again poses a threat to the Ukrainian flank closest to Kyiv". The military suggests that Wagner could lead an attack on the Ukrainian capital from Belarus.

Dannat said it is "quite possible" that Russia could use the Wagnerians to try to retake Kyiv.

The British general compared the consequences of the Prigozhin rebellion to aftershocks - repeated earth tremors that occur after a major earthquake. As Dannat said, the "aftershocks" of June 24 "will be observed for quite a long time.

At the same time, he believes that there were no clear winners in "yesterday's fiasco. "Putin has definitely weakened a lot. The Russian military ... is clearly in some disarray," said Lord Dannat.
