Former US Ambassador: Putin's reliance on Lukashenko to resolve Wagner uprising shows weakness.

TL;DR Summary
Former national security adviser John Bolton says the Wagner Group's recent march towards Moscow doesn't pose a real threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin's power. Bolton described the Wagner troops as "scum of the street" and believes Putin's tenure in power is not numbered in weeks or months. The brief revolt exposed vulnerabilities among Russian government forces, with Wagner Group soldiers able to move unimpeded into the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and advance towards Moscow, prompting the Russian military to scramble to defend the capital.
