The well-known Russian opposition businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the richest man in Russia until his conviction and exile, urged this Saturday to help the head of the Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, in his rebellion against the Russian military command, since the real enemy is not in kyiv, but in Moscow.
“Prigozhin’s rebellion, despite its lukewarmness and lack of preparation, is the strongest blow to Putin’s reputation,” he wrote on his Telegram channel.
He stressed that the head of the Wagner Group is telling the truth when he said that “the official reason for the war (NATO is preparing to attack Russia) is bullshit that nobody believes in.”
Khodorkovsky pointed out that the Russian Army “was ruined by hands of the thieves close to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin” and “cannot defeat Ukraine.
“The real enemy is not in kyiv, but in Moscow”, he pointed. And that, he added, is said by Prigozhin, a person who helped Putin consolidate his power.
