Multiple videos capturing the incident have emerged on social media platforms. Several Twitter users have reacted to the viral clips. One user reacting on the video tweeted, “Putin would probably make a great card player…. Has been bluffing for years and people were afraid… now that he has to play… he is terrible at this. He can’t beat Ukraine… AND… he can’t defend his own country. They were supposed to be a super power…”

“6 billion dollar “accounting error” and a few days later this happens???? Biden playing 5D chess”, another user tweeted.

One user tweeted, “Has anyone ever won a war and a civil war at the same time?”

The seizure comes after a criminal investigation into Yevgeny Prigozhin was slammed. He is accused of encouraging an armed revolt to oust Sergei Shoigu, Russia’s defense minister. The investigation has been brought on by the strong accusations made against Prigozhin, which raises questions about possible dangers to national security. However, the current seizure doesn’t look to deny the questions related to national security.
