(Washington Insider Magazine) – The war continues to rage hotly between Ukraine and Russia in this latest Russian-Ukrainian war update.
As of Saturday, July 1, there have been at least 21,000 mercenaries associated with the Wagner military movement that have been killed in action in Ukraine, per Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
He confirmed this total to reporters who were on the ground in Kyiv on the first of July, stating that he believes over 50,000 more have been wounded with whereabouts unknown.
Media outlets are waiting to objectively confirm this figure and claim, which was restated during a conference with Spanish media groups in the wake of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’ visit to the war-torn area.
Zelensky then continued to visit state-hailed heroes who had been wounded in recent altercations, thanking them personally for their service to the region.
This number comes in strong contention with claims from the Wagner troops who were previously quoted saying that the war was being executed on “lies.”
Is Putin At Risk Of Execution Or Elimination?
Many have been speculating and asking the question: Is Putin at Risk? It’s understandable, as he’s gone “missing” multiple times and is rumored to be in subpar health.
Zelensky cast even more doubt over the question of is Putin at risk, as he was quoted stating that “the whole world wants to kill him.”
Wagner troops continue despite question of “Is Putin at risk?”
The rebellion aimed at Moscow and surrounding counties continues, despite many wondering if Putin is still installed or at risk.
Currently, Russian capital areas and facilities are under attack, specifically those that are associated with the military or key infrastructure points.
Many are unsure of the viability of the Wagner group, as President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has currently made a deal that institutes that Prigozhin move to Belarus — prompting his men to relieve themselves to the Russian military or local enforcement agencies. Other options include returning to their families as a form of military relinquishment or remaining in Belarus.
This paradigm shift is thought by many to benefit Ukraine, and may overshadow the question of “Is Putin at risk?”
