Calling the ongoing situation a ‘real dilemma’, she also said that Putin doesn't forgive traitors and Prigozhin is a threat, according to a report published by CNN. The former CNN Moscow bureau chief said that the turmoil created on the streets of Russia makes Putin looks ‘really weak’, not a ‘strongman leader’ as he always positions himself to be. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has offered to mediate with Russian President Vladimir Putin's agreement. He also said that the criminal case will be dropped against Prigozhin for armed mutiny because the Russian president knew him personally for more than 20 years. His troops were ordered back to their field camps in Ukraine, where they have been fighting alongside Russian regular soldiers.
