In a small interview UMUSEKE has contacted a Moscow based journalist, Edvard Chesnokov to make an analysis of the situation in Russia, with yesterday mutiny for Wagner mercenary Group who turn guns against President Vladimir Putin with “their aim to overthrow ministry of defense leadership.
UMUSEKE asks Edvard Chesnokov to explain who is Prigozhin the Boss of Wagner Group.
The response:
“Previously, Prigozhin was really popular among some of Russians, including male and military.
But after the coup attempt, he loses all his popularity as Russians understand that internal instability in the times of war can cost high.”
UMUSEKE asks how People in Russia are considering the situation and its consequences
The response:
“Most of the Russian people and authorities do not support the coup. President Putin has just designated the situation as the coup attempt (although, without personal mention of Prigozhin or any other names).

As for warfare consequences, remember that only 10-15% of the Russian military is used in the special operation over Ukraine. The rest can be used in case of emergency and their amount would be enough to stabilize the situation in case of any problems.
I think Putin will be able to handle it.”
UMUSEKE asks if there are external influence in this situation
The response:
“Some of the Russian foreign opposite figures, such as a fled oligarch Khodorkovsky, praises the coup and calls the masses to take weapons and join Prigozhin.
So there are obviously some abroad ties.”
UMUSEKE will continue to update our followers on the situation.
