The Russian government is said to be considering an offer of assistance from British Prince Harry to mediate in the dispute between President Putin and Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of the Wagner Group.
Wagner has tens of thousands of mercenaries, many of whom had advanced on and threatened to capture the Kremlin last week, outraged at what they claimed were Russian attacks on their own soldiers. In retaliation, President Putin had declared Prigozhin a criminal. Prigozhin has been staying in a window-less bungalow ever since.
Things quietened, following the intervention of Belarus’s President in offering a temporary home for the Wagner chief, along with thousands of Russian nuclear warheads aimed at Ukraine, but Russian media outlets have reported that the Wagner chief and his top henchmen still face prosecution.
Prince Harry has a sterling record of helping people around the world, having helped:
* Oprah Winfrey get publicity by interviewing him and his wife Meghan Markle
* Netflix make a lot of profits by using his name, and
* Several journalists in London to get black eyes.
The Prince has generously offered to try and heal President Putin’s and Yevgeny Prigozhin’s childhood traumas with the power of publicity. “It’s wonders what a bullhorn and a TV camera can do, in the hands of Harry”, said friend and biographer Omid Scobie
