Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that the Ukrainian authorities calmly perceived the US not sharing intelligence with them regarding the events in Russia at the end of June. In an interview with CNN, he noted that we are talking about information from Washington about the preparation of an attempt at a military insurgency in Russia by Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of PMC.

He also added that when it comes to the United States, his concern is only with certain aspects of Ukraine’s military support. Kuleba emphasized that the interaction between Kiev and Washington is generally good.
“The only moment I regret in connection with Washington’s actions is when decisions regarding the procurement of certain types of weapons are taken more slowly than I would like. We have a very high level of intelligence cooperation with the United States,” Kuleba said.
On the evening of June 23, Prigozhin announced that his fighters were advancing on the territory of Russia with a “march for justice”, after which the Prosecutor General’s Office filed a lawsuit for organizing an armed rebellion.

On the evening of June 24, the press service of the President of Belarus informed about the negotiations between Alexander Lukashenko and Prigozhin, as a result of which the parties agreed on “an acceptable option for resolving the situation with a guarantee of security for the company.” warriors.” PMC founder “Wagner” said he decided to reverse his columns and send them back to field camps.
