Can an attack on Russia's capital, reminiscent of Yevgeny Prigozhin's raid, happen again? Maksymilian, also known as Caesar, deputy commander of the "Freedom of Russia" Legion, does not rule it out. The rebel leader emphasises that his soldiers will fight against Putin, even if there is a potential truce between Ukraine and Russia.

The Ukrainians are attacking Russian territory, taking over several square miles of the Kursk region. The authorities in the Kremlin are shocked by this turn of events, and propagandists do not know how to explain to Russians that the Ukrainian army is conquering their land.

In the opinion of Maksymilian, also known as Caesar, deputy commander of the "Freedom of Russia" Legion fighting alongside Ukraine, such a situation indicates the Russian army's lack of preparedness for crisis situations.

Russian troops operate well when everything is planned. But as soon as something goes wrong, they don't know how to react. We see this now in the Kursk region - said Caesar.

One of the leaders of the Russian partisans notes that it is all because "Putin has built a system based on degenerates". The soldier believes that thanks to this, Ukraine will be able to achieve all the objectives of the military operation.

According to the interviewee, the situation clearly shows that Prigozhin's rebellion can happen again. This time, however, Caesar believes it may succeed.

When our numbers are close to Prigozhin's forces, we will be able to repeat what he did - said the Russian partisan.

Let us recall that Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner Group staged a coup in Moscow on 23 and 24 June 2023. According to his statements, the mercenaries stopped 125 miles before the Russian capital. Prigozhin himself died in a plane crash that occurred two months after the coup (23.08.23).
