The failed mutiny by the Wagner Group has shattered the veneer of invincibility surrounding Russian President Vladimir Putin, leading to speculation about his next move. While some experts believe Putin will hold on to power for now, there is recognition that the West needs to consider a scenario where he is replaced. The presence of Wagner forces in Belarus has raised concerns about regional stability, and their absence in Ukraine could impact the dynamics of the conflict. The future of Russia's nuclear arsenal is also a topic of discussion, with experts confident that control will not be lost but acknowledging that it could play a role in a future power struggle.
