New US arms aid to Ukraine after the Wagner rebellion unveiled.
Three days after the end of the Wagner uprising in Russia, the United States unveiled its new arms aid package to Ukraine.
In a press conference about the recent developments in Russia, General Pat Ryder, the deputy press secretary of the US Department of Defense, emphasized that Washington had no role in the recent short rebellion of the Wagner group in Russia.
Ryder added: As you heard from the State Department as well as White House officials, the United States considers the recent security situation in Russia to be a domestic matter.
This press conference was held a few hours before the Pentagon unveiled its new package of 500 million dollars in arms aid to Ukraine.
According to Reuters, the package will include the Stinger air defense system, Javelin anti-tank missile systems, and ammunition for the Patriot air defense system. The package will also include 30 Bradley fighting vehicles and 25 Stryker armored personnel carriers.
According to Fox News, the Pentagon spokesman refused to comment on the impact of the Wagner rebellion on Vladimir Putin’s influence in Russia and avoided a direct answer about the timing of the latest package of US arms aid to Ukraine with the Wagner rebellion in Russia.
In response to a question in this regard, he claimed that it had nothing to do with anything, we have a process that we will review for a while and this is part of it.
Fox News wrote that Pat Ryder neither confirmed nor denied Washington’s knowledge of the situation of Eugene Prigogine, head of the Wagner Group. The one who, according to Fox News, upset many Western analysts by agreeing with Russia to end the crisis!
Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus, who mediated the agreement between President Wagner and Vladimir Putin, confirmed today that Prigozhin arrived in the country’s capital Mysenek on a private small plane from the city of Rostov.
It was on Friday evening that the commander of the Wagner group claimed in a statement that the Russian army attacked the group’s positions. He then ordered his forces to take control of Russian cities and punish the country’s top military leaders.
Less than a day after Wagner’s forces clashed with the Russian army, the Belarusian government announced the agreement of the head of this militia group to an agreement with the Kremlin and said that Prigozhin was supposed to leave Russia and go to this country.
