247 International correspondent Pepe Escobar believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin emerged as a big winner from the failed insurgency by the Wagner Group, a mercenary group led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, against his government. According to Pepe, Putin has exposed the poor quality of western media analysis, mobilized forces to end the war in Ukraine faster, identified potential traitors and even gained the freedom to use the extraordinary powers of martial law.

The attempted mutiny took place between Friday 23 June and Saturday 24 June and ended after negotiations. According to Escobar, the attempted insurgency was completely crushed, resulting in a victory for Putin that was significant in every respect. He stressed that this situation had once again ridiculed the Western media and highlighted the tendency of their reporting to exaggerate and sensationalize. At the same time, the Russian President managed to mobilize people to contribute to a faster and more effective end to the conflict.

Another important point Escobar highlights is Putin’s compilation of a list of traitors and agents in the fifth and sixth columns. This suggests that the incident served as an opportunity to identify and combat internal elements that threaten the country’s stability. This approach underscores Putin’s determination to protect Russian interests.

In addition, Escobar mentioned the freedom Putin was granted to exercise the powers of martial law. This suggests that the President has greater maneuvering room to take the necessary measures to counter terrorism and ensure national security.
