The Russian government, which has long welcomed Prigozhin’s assistance in conflicts in Syria and Ukraine, has apparently had enough of all this, especially now that Prigozhin is dismantling the Kremlin’s rationalizations for the war-and by extension, making Putin look like a fool or a liar or both. He is asking Russian police and military forces to stand aside while he gets “justice” for his troops.
