There are unconfirmed reports this morning his private jet has landed in the Belarusian capital of Minsk.
Prigozhin expressed regret that more than a dozen Russian airmen were killed in the shoot-down of six Russian helicopters and one command and control plane. “They were hitting our forces with bombs and rocket strikes,” he said.PUTIN: LEADERS OF MUTINY ‘BETRAYED THEIR COUNTRY’: In a late-night address Moscow time, Putin addressed his nation, attempting to project calm and stability after the chaotic weekend, while claiming his restraint averted a crisis.
“They wanted Russian soldiers to kill each other; they wanted the military and civilians to die; they wanted Russia to lose eventually, and our society to break up and perish in a bloody feud,” he said. ZELENSKY: ‘A HAPPY DAY’: In his nightly video address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared Monday a “happy day” as he claimed Ukrainian forces continued to make slow but steady progress in pushing Russian forces back from occupied areas.
In remarks to the British Parliament, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said Ukraine has recaptured almost 190 square miles. “That’s more territory than Russia seized in its whole winter offensive." “You're going to see another round of support announced from this administration for Ukraine in terms of weapons and capabilities this week,” said Kirby at yesterday’s briefing. “Our focus is on making sure that they have what they need to succeed, whether it's training, tools, equipment.
“One hundred years later, the United States Air Force celebrates these Airmen, and looks to the next generation to bring diversity of thought, push boundaries and find solutions beyond the status quo,” the Air Force release said.
