PCP secretary general Paulo Raimundo said on Saturday that he was following events in Russia following the uprising of the mercenary group Wagner, a situation he defended that Moscow would have to resolve “with its own resources”.
“We try to follow up as much as possible. It is clear that we are dealing with a situation within a country that will have to solve the situation with its own resources,” said the secretary general of the PCP.
Paulo Raimundo, who spoke to journalists on the sidelines of a social lunch held by the PCP’s regional organization directorate, said he was still not sure that the uprising of the Wagner mercenary group would contribute to the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine. .
“As these events take place that we are not very well informed about, we are sure that tens, hundreds, thousands of people are still dying in the conflict resolution struggle in Ukraine right now. I am not sure what developments are contributing to that, but I don’t know more details,” he noted.
The head of the Wagner paramilitary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, today claimed the occupation of Rostov, a key city in southern Russia for the war in Ukraine, and called for an uprising against the Russian military command, which he accused of killing its fighters. to fall.
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin described the paramilitary group’s action as an insurgency, saying it represented a “mortal threat” to the Russian state and a betrayal that guaranteed there would be no “civil war”.
