In his first public comments since Saturday, Putin tried to project unity and stability as questions swirled about the strength of his grip on power. Putin appeared visibly angry as he denounced the rebellion as “blackmail” and claimed that “the entire Russian society united and rallied everyone.” He did not mention Prigozhin by name. “They wanted Russians to fight each other,” he said. “They rubbed their hands, dreaming of taking revenge for their failures at the front and during the so-called counteroffensive.” Earlier in the day, Prigozhin also spoke publicly for the first time since Saturday. He said that [he wasn’t seeking to oust Putin](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmfIGlP4QeAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDYvMjYvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL3ByaWdvemhpbi1ydXNzaWEtY3JpbWluYWwtY2FzZS1iZWxhcnVzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjMwNjI3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTk2MDgzJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1wYWNpZmljLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzNzcwNSZzbWlkPXVybC1zaGFyZSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZJGl_JlkvfIEYFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) and denied that he had any intention of seizing power. He said that he was only protesting the new law that he said would have effectively halted Wagner’s operations in Ukraine. “We went to demonstrate our protest, and not to overthrow the government in the country,” Prigozhin said.

A military spokesman said that the members of the military who had been disciplined had failed to secure military installations against attacks by protesters. Arrests: Since the protests, at least 5,000 of Khan’s supporters have been arrested. A military spokesman said at least 102 will be tried in military courts, which has drawn widespread criticism from human rights groups. Inflation in Suriname is near 60 percent, and people are protesting.Adriana Loureiro Fernandez for The New York Times U.S.-China relations complicate lending Middle- and lower-income countries are grappling with untenable debts after years of low interest rates encouraged borrowing. The rivalry between China and the U.S. is now [complicating their ability to get relief on time](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmfIGlP0T3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNi8yNi9idXNpbmVzcy9zdXJpbmFtZS1jaGluYS1pbWYuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD03JmVtYz1lZGl0X21iYWVfMjAyMzA2MjcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTYwODMmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1hc2lhLXBhY2lmaWMtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTM3NzA1JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkkaX8mWS98gRgUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). For decades, the I.M.F. has regularly prescribed austerity as a condition for financial aid. But in recent years, China has emerged as a major lender for developing countries across the world, and its loans are accompanied by fewer demands. Now, the I.M.F. and the U.S., its most influential participant, have balked at providing some relief to debt-stressed countries until Chinese financial institutions participate. Otherwise, they say, Chinese lenders are free-riding on debt forgiveness extended by others. But as Beijing grows increasingly assertive, it has refused to bow to the West. As a result, countries such as Ghana, Ethiopia and Pakistan — each facing escalating debts, much of it to state-owned Chinese lenders — are caught in the crossfire. Case in point: Suriname was offered low-interest loans from the I.M.F., but the agency was adamant that Chinese creditors restructure $545 million in debt — loans Suriname had used to build roads and housing. The impasse delayed relief as inflation soared and children went hungry.
