(CNN) — The head of British intelligence, or what is known as “Mi6”, Richard Moore, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had no choice but to reach an agreement with the leader of the Russian Wagner Special Forces, Yevgeny Prigozhin, in order to end his short rebellion. age, last month.
This came in Moore’s interview with CNN where he said, “Prigozhin didn’t really fight back. He (Putin) made a deal to save himself, using the good offices of the leader of Belarus, so I can’t see what’s inside Putin’s head.”
He continued: “If you look at Putin’s behavior that day, I think Prigozhin started out, I think, as a traitor at breakfast, he was pardoned at dinner time and then a few days later he was invited to tea, there are some things that even the head of MI6 is.” He finds it a bit difficult to interpret.”
The head of Britain’s foreign intelligence service used a rare speech in Prague on Wednesday to make an appeal to disaffected Russians to spy for the UK, appealing to Russians “wrestling with their conscience” to take a stand against the Russian president’s regime and “share secrets with Mi6”.
