Leader for rebellion in Russia is in Ukraine and "acquires capacity" - Budanov

The head of the GUR noted that the riot of "Wagnerivtsi" was preparing in advance and Ukraine knew about it in half a year. There is currently no gust to such a scenario in Russia. A new rebellion in the Russian Federation requires a leader on the spot. One of them is in Ukraine. This was stated by the head of the GUR Defense Ministry of Defense Kirill Budanov during a speech at the Kiev School of Economics (KSE), reports Forbes.

At the same time, the head of the Ukrainian intelligence did not name any specific names. "If we talk about the conditional rebellions of ethnic groups, this requires a leader in place. There is a good leader, he is in us, but acquires the ability. Then you can say something. There is only nothing happening, the rebellion of the" Wagnerians "was preparing very well" , - Budanov explained.

He noted that Ukraine knew about the preparation of rebellion by a private military company (Wagner PVC) for another half a year. But as of today, gusts in a similar scenario in Russia are not observed. According to him, Yevgeny Prigogin was a complex personality and an ultra -patriot. During the rebellion, he planned to go to the Kremlin and intended to save Russia. "But he was explained: if you go, no one can" wear out "here. But you will not save Russia right away, but break it.

Because you will be in the Kremlin at one time, and the nominal leadership of the state is somewhere else. You unite this love. We will remind, on June 23, 2023 the leader of PEC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigogin accused the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation of shelling of the rear positions of "Wagner". He demanded the resignation of the then head of the defense department of Sergei Shoig and announced a campaign to Moscow.
