According to Russian state media, “significant changes” in the leadership of the Russian Defense Ministry have been agreed
Vladimir Putin allegedly “sacrificed” the defense minister like pawns Sergei Shoigu and the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian FederationValery Gerasimov for Yevgeny Prigozhin to accept Alexander Lukashenko’s deal proposal.
According to Russian state media, “significant changes” in the leadership of the Russian Defense Ministry have been agreed, including changes to the current defense minister and chief of the General Staff, in order to stop Wagner’s dangerous advance to the capital of Moscow.
These negotiations also reportedly included the “security guarantees of the fighters of the Wagner Group”. “The criminal case against Prigozhin will be dropped; Wagner PMCs fighters will be given legal immunity. The State Duma will take the appropriate decisions in the coming days” is also noted.
Shoigu and Gerasimov karate (it looks like they will resign) satisfies Prigozhin, as it was his “hated” arch-rivals who he insisted were constantly sabotaging him in Bahamut.
“I didn’t want Russian blood to be spilled,” says Wagner’s “boss” in his recording, referring to the agreement he signed with Lukashenkoby which the phalanxes of the men of the paramilitary organization stop advancing on Moscow and return to their camps.

Former supporter of Prigozhin about alleged agreement between Prigozhin and Russian authorities:
