Evgeny Prigozhin, the head of Wagner’s private army, who led an armed insurgency aimed at ousting Russia’s defense minister, who had been fighting on Russia’s side in the Ukrainian war, now raised the flag of rebellion against Russian President Vladimir Putin. have taken. They have crossed the border into Ukraine and taken over military installations and an airstrip in Rostov-on-Don, a major Russian city. Wagner’s chief claimed that he was advancing relentlessly and would destroy anyone who tried to stop him. Not only this, now he is also challenging President Putin and claiming that soon the country will get a new President.
At the same time, President Putin, in his televised address to the nation, described the announcement of an armed rebellion by the head of the Wagner Group as a betrayal and a backstabbing of Russia. It is true that the Putin government will do everything for the security of the Russian people and military institutions. Wagner’s hired private army has no standing in front of Russia’s huge army, but the truth is that this incident ruined Putin’s image. Russia was determined to ruin Ukraine by throwing all its power into it, but even after more than a year, it could neither capture Ukraine nor capture its President Zelensky, but the inefficiency of its weapons during the war proved to be such. The whole world is enjoying seeing the exhibition. Putin may not have benefited from this war, but due to the inefficiency of Russian defense equipment being exposed, the Russian defense market has definitely got a discount.
Amazingly, President Putin uses a private army in the war with Ukraine, and then the heads of the private army are so infatuated that they go on a mutiny to oust the head of the government’s army!
The way Russia took steps for its creation after the breakup of the Soviet Union after the Cold War, there was no agenda for a sly conspiracy, but after assuming the office of the President, Putin started dreaming of becoming a Soviet Union. Now the situation is that Putin has so many enemies inside Russia that there is no need for people from outside. It is also believed that some Ukrainian army is also involved with Wagner, but even if it is so, there is little chance that it will be able to succeed in its objective. But looking at all this, Putin will have to pay attention to three things. The first is not to screw up when everything is going well, as Putin did in the 2016 US presidential election.
The second is that it should give up its insistence on becoming the Soviet Union again and the third is that if there is any dispute with any country, it should take the help of diplomacy and talk to resolve it. If only the focus was on making Russia an economic and defense superpower, then it could have achieved great success, but the present government of Russia is determined to make its country a security state. Its side effects also started appearing in front of him. But the short-sightedness did not make the leaders of Russia hear the sound of disaster. Putin does not listen to those who are heard.
The bottom line is that President Putin needs to focus on every area of his national development. But they have made a big mistake by choosing the path of confrontation. Russia’s problems are continuously increasing, but Putin has left no stone unturned to bring shame to the country for his stubbornness and arrogance. (sp)
