Insights on Ukrainian Conflict from Russian Defector and Volunteer

A former Russian diplomat, Boris Bondarev, says Putin's grip on power has been significantly damaged by the failed weekend uprising, and the coup leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, should fear for his life despite a deal allowing him to flee to Belarus. Bondarev says Putin is likely to seek revenge against Prigozhin for the brief march toward Moscow. The former diplomat also says Putin's inner circle is shrinking, and most people inside the Kremlin do not support the war. Meanwhile, the Australian government unveiled a $75 million aid package for Ukraine, and Ukraine's Armed Forces have liberated the village of Rivnopil in the Donetsk region.
