Volodyn stated that many members of Wagner have agreed to follow Putin's proposal and sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense to become regular troops. "Putin explained the real situation in detail to the Wagner warriors and suggested that those who want to defend Russia continue to serve and stay on the Ukrainian battlefield. As far as I know, many people agree with this."

Volodyn also stated that the peaceful end of the Wagner incident demonstrated the stability of Putin's power to the world. "The difficult situation shows how high the authority of the President in the civilian and military sectors is. Putin has overcome the most difficult situation and further consolidated his position domestically and internationally."

Wagner pauses recruitment

On July 2nd, according to CNN, a social media channel associated with Prigoren, Telegraph, announced that the private military company Wagner Group will suspend recruitment for a month as it is transferring to Belarus.

The channel operated by an employee of Wagner Group stated, "Due to Wagner Private Military Company not participating in special military operations and being transferred to the Republic of Belarus, we will temporarily suspend the recruitment center in Wagner for a period of one month."

After the rebellion, Wagner's movements in Belarus drew attention.

Reuters reported on the 29th that according to satellite images obtained by the media, multiple new facilities have appeared at a military base in the southeast of the Belarusian capital Minsk, which seems to be related to Wagner, suggesting that the organization is rapidly establishing a base in Belarus.

In recent days, the resolution of the Wagner incident and Prigoren's visit to Belarus have raised concerns among some Western countries, especially NATO member states located in Eastern Europe. There are reports that Belarus is building a Wagner camp that can accommodate 8000 people about 200 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. However, Lukashenko denies this.

It is said that the White Party provided an abandoned military camp with walls and other facilities, and Wagner could build his own tent. Lukashenko stated that if they need it, Belarus will help them stay for a period of time, but the related costs will be borne by Wagner.

Lukashenko said in a meeting with the country's Defense Minister Khlenin that Belarus needs Wagner personnel for "pragmatic" reasons, as they can share their combat experience with Belarusian soldiers.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
