Prigozhin and his Wagner Group mercenaries are likely to lose, but his escapade is a clear sign that Russia is not winning in Ukraine. In fact, the invasion looks more and more like the same kind of adventure as this desperate “march of justice”
The mutiny by Wagner PMC, the mercenary army founded by St Petersburg caterer Yevgeny Prigozhin, hardly comes as a surprise after months of mockery and derision directed at military leaders in Moscow. But in its timing — in the midst of a Ukrainian counteroffensive — this apparent reenactment of Benito Mussolini’s 1922 March on Rome could foreshadow Russia’s defeat in its war of choice.
On Friday morning, Prigozhin published a long video on Telegram in which he argued that the Ukraine invasion was launched for little more than Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu’s vanity and a corrupt oligarchy’s business interests. He claimed the Russian army was retreating and losing 10 times more soldiers than it would have lost under better military leadership.
