“This makes Russia weaker and us stronger,” Yuri Sak said on BBC Radio 4.

“What happened yesterday in Russia will probably go down in history as the most senseless attempted uprising ever.

“It will have nothing to do with our plans. We are on a mission to liberate our land, and I only hope that our allies who watched this senseless uprising yesterday will understand that the only way to end the war in Ukraine is to ensure that Ukraine defeats Russia militarily.”

“We cannot hope for any internal transformations in Russia. It will only happen on the battlefield.”

In addition, the Ukrainian commander Robert Brovdi, known as “The Magyar”, was filmed by his wife during the “attack” with a large amount of popcorn as he watched with interest what was happening in Russia on Saturday, as Prigozhin and he led his troops on Moscow behead the leadership of the Russian army.

While all eyes were on Russia’s internal turmoil, fighting continues on the front lines in Ukraine.

Footage taken by news agencies in the Zaporizhia region shows Ukrainian military personnel firing mortars, preparing drones, and monitoring Russian drones.
