The Biden administration expected “much more bloodshed” in Russia
A CNN report in the US said that the White House was expecting “a lot of blood” and was very surprised that the Russians avoided an open armed confrontation and did not shoot each other in the end.
“As the picture became clearer to US intelligence analysts that Prigozhin was going to use Wagner forces inside Russia, it was expected that his march on Moscow would meet much greater resistance and be ‘far more bloody’ than it was,” the channel reported.
According to the US senior official, this surprise was compounded by the swiftness of the deal on Saturday, which was brokered by Belarus.
