Putin's Confidence on Ukraine Before Revolt

In an interview recorded before the failed revolt by the Wagner group of mercenaries, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed confidence in plans for Ukraine, including defence, special military operations, and the economy. Putin did not mention the recent events in the interview, and the Defence Ministry also did not address the actions of Wagner and its leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in its daily briefing. Putin said that Russia's special military operation is paramount and that every day starts and ends with it.
