Do you seriously believe that Lukashenko is just some random third party here? This was a way to provide a way out for Prigozhin and diffuse the situation.
I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make here to be honest. Kremlin found a way to resolve the situation without bloodshed, and where Prigozhin was removed from wagner while preserving wagner as an effective organization. Wagner is in fact now signing contracts with the MoD, so yes it is directly under the control of the MoD going forward. Basically, Russia managed to resolve the situation in the best way possible.
If that's what you genuinely believe then what else is there to tell you. I also love how you just made up a whole bunch of stuff like Prigozhin's troops going to Belarus. You could totally get a job at one of US propaganda rags writing nonsense all day.
You are literally making things up here. There is zero actual evidence to support your claim that any wagner troops are following Prigozhin anywhere. You just pulled this out of your ass based what you can and can't imagine, and trying to sell that as some fact here.
Meanwhile, read the link you yourself posted till you understand what it says.
There is nothing likely about that statement. The fact that you believe an absurdity does not make it likely. The facts don't support your assertions. And I don't need to keep justifying myself to you here. The only recurring tactic here is you confidently asserting nonsensical things and then acting like they're obviously true.
If the 5,000 troops aren't going to be allowed to sign contracts with the MoD then they obviously become civilians. One has to be living in an alternate reality to think that they're just going to follow Prigozhin around like some praetorian guard. The fact that you even consider this to be a likely scenario shows that you have absolutely no understanding of the situation in Russia.
You certainly sound like you're an expert on the subject, so whatever you say there.
Just to recap, you've made a bunch of speculation that isn't grounded in any actual facts. Then when you got called out on doing that you started spewing more nonsense. Now you're claiming that it's actually my reasoning that's weak. What an utter ๐คก you are.
The organization will be integrated, and there will be no more wagner as an independent PMC. It's absolutely hilarious you're still here, it's like you just need to keep talking because deep down you realize how wrong you are and you think that if you just keep adding more comments you'll dig yourself out in some way. ๐

Yeah, that's different from your claim that there would be a wagner in Belarus. Anybody with a couple of brain cells to bang together understands that Belarus wouldn't want a rogue PMC any more than Russia would after what happened. It's frankly stunning that you can't understand that and still trying to pretend like you had a valid point. The fact that you're still commenting on this thread is kind of hilarious. Seems like it's living rent free in your head.
I just love how you have this compulsive need to reply. Read your comments when you're sober maybe.
If by call out you mean spew, then you're bang on.

I definitely exhibit jekyll and hyde characteristics :)
Luka was almost certainly acting on behalf of the Kremlin because for image purposes the Kremlin could not be seen to be the ones making the offer of leniency to traitors, they needed to be the bad cop to Lukashenko's good cop. In the interest of avoiding a dangerous escalation Luka was used as an ostensible (but not really) "third party" to give the leaders of the mutiny who had backed themselves into a corner a way to still get out of this with their lives so that they wouldn't fight to the death and take valuable rank and file soldiers with them.
We don't know what the terms were exactly, we'll have to wait and see, but from what has been openly stated at least there is no indication that any of the demands of the mutineers were conceded to, personnel changes were not even discussed (imo there was never a snowball's chance in hell of the government agreeing to that, can you imagine how bad it would be for discipline to allow some uppity mercs to dictate who the commanders of the armed forces are? it would be an enormous violation of the chain of command!), and the integration of Wagner into the official armed forces has only accelerated.
On the whole i think this was unavoidable at some point because the contradiction of giving so much power and prominence to a mercenary group was always going to create conflict, but the way it was handled was just about the optimal way to do it and Russia will come out of this stronger. There will be some who will say that Russia should have foreseen this and not allowed it to come this far in the first place, and maybe that is true, but maybe it was also good it happened the way it did because it offers an opportunity for a more thorough cleanse and a more decisive break with previous policy toward PMCs.
More consolidation under the official state power structures is a good thing for when communists take over again. Mercenaries with too much influence and autonomy would be a nasty problem to deal with. And at the very least the image of Wagner and especially that of certain personalities involved with it is irreversibly tarnished in the eyes of the Russian public, and again i can't say that that is bad, they were getting too full of themselves and starting to have a negative morale impact by denigrating the performance of the regular armed forces without whom they could never have even operated the way they did to begin with.
