Wagner Stops March on Moscow as Belarus Brokers Deal


From: The Wall Street Journal


The Wagner paramilitary group halted its march on Moscow on Saturday, after Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko brokered a deal between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the rebels, averting an armed confrontation that threatened to plunge the country into civil war.


Criminal charges against Wagner's owner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, will be dropped and he will relocate to Belarus, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. Wagner soldiers who took part in the mutiny will be granted amnesty, while those who stayed in their barracks will be offered a contract with the defense ministry, he added.


Security forces in Moscow were seen dismantling barricades that had been hastily assembled as rebel troops neared the capital.


Lukashenko said he spent most of Saturday negotiating with Prigozhin and Putin, adding that all sides had agreed “that unleashing a bloodbath on the territory of Russia was unacceptable.” The deal offered to Prigozhin is “absolutely advantageous and acceptable,” and will involve security guarantees for Wagner, he added.


There were no further details, particularly about the fate of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and the chief of Russia's general staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, whose removal Prigozhin had demanded as he seized Rostov and sent his troops marching toward the capital. Peskov said the issue hasn't been discussed with Lukashenko. Prigozhin himself didn't make any statements about leaving Russia.


The tentative truce was the latest twist in a tumultuous day that raised serious questions about Putin's hold on power and underscored growing tensions within the Russian establishment and armed forces.


It was less clear what the day's fast-moving events meant for Prigozhin. The march on Moscow initially highlighted his formidable clout as leader of a motivated and well-armed paramilitary force, contrasting sharply with a Russian military largely demoralized after 16 months of fighting in Ukraine. But the end result raised questions about whether Prigozhin had miscalculated and whether he would be able to retain any power while in Belarus.


“Understanding all the responsibility that Russian blood may be spilled by one of the sides, we have turned around our columns and are returning to the field camps, according to plan,” Prigozhin said.


For Putin, who on Saturday morning accused Prigozhin of treason and ordered his military to crush Wagner's “mutiny,” the deal brokered by Lukashenko represented a climbdown. It was caused, in part, by the fact that Russia's security forces by and large didn't resist as Wagner's columns swiftly moved toward Moscow, coming to within 125 miles of the capital.


The specter of all-out war between rival Russian forces had grown during the day as columns of Wagner tanks, artillery and personnel carriers were spotted crossing the Voronezh and Lipetsk regions, coming closer and closer to Moscow. There were no major attempts to stop them on the M4 highway by Russian ground forces, though the column was occasionally attacked by Russian combat aircraft.


Video footage showed the main Voronezh fuel depot ablaze after an airstrike, the wreckage of several helicopters, and one warplane being shot out of the sky. Fighterbomber, a Russian military aviation Telegram channel that is well connected with the Russian Air Force, said Wagner on Saturday downed six Russian helicopters, including a Ka-52 gunship, and an IL-18 or IL-22 airborne command center plane. A total of 12 Air Force crew died, according to Fighterbomber.


President Biden spoke about the situation in Russia with President Emmanuel Macron of France, Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany and U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and affirmed their unwavering support for Ukraine, the White House said.

But the end result raised questions about whether Prigozhin had miscalculated and whether he would be able to retain any power while in Belarus.


不太清楚这一天里的快速进展对普里戈任意味着什么。进军莫斯科一开始凸显了他作为一支士气高昂、装备精良的准军事部队领导人的强大影响力,与在乌克兰战斗16个月后士气低落的俄罗斯军队形成鲜明对比。但最终的结果让人怀疑普里戈任是否失算,以及他在白俄罗斯期间是否能够保有任何权力。

普里戈任说,“了解到可能导致俄罗斯的鲜血被其中一方泼洒的所有责任,我们已经调转了我们的纵队,正在按计划返回野战营地。”


For Putin, who on Saturday morning accused Prigozhin of treason and ordered his military to crush Wagner's “mutiny,” the deal brokered by Lukashenko represented a climbdown. It was caused, in part, by the fact that Russia's security forces by and large didn't resist as Wagner's columns swiftly moved toward Moscow, coming to within 125 miles of the capital.


对于普京,鉴于他在周六上午称普里戈任叛国,并命令俄罗斯国家军队粉碎瓦格纳的“叛变”,这项由卢卡申科促成交易代表着让步。造成这种情况的部分原因是,当瓦格纳的纵队迅速向莫斯科行进,直到切进距首都仅125英里的范围内时,俄罗斯的安全部队基本上没有抵抗。

📍the deal [brokered by Lukashenko] - 这部分是过去分词作后置定语,修饰the deal,告诉我们这个协议是由卢卡申科协商的。


所以,整个句子的意思是:对于普京,鉴于他在周六上午称普里戈任叛国,并命令俄罗斯国家军队粉碎瓦格纳的“叛变”,这项由卢卡申科促成交易代表着让步。
