The aftermath of mutiny in Russia and Ukraine.

The recent Wagner Group mutiny in Russia has highlighted the growing influence of ultra-nationalist right-wing groups in the country, who are demanding more aggressive action in Ukraine and potentially the use of tactical nuclear weapons. This current includes former Russian flag officers, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, and the self-described "red Nazi" Alexander Dugin. The mutiny has made Putin dependent on Russia's extreme right, and his successor, if he is overthrown, is likely to be a Russian nationalist bent on absolute victory in Ukraine. The war with Ukraine is seen as a war between Russia and NATO, with the Western objective being regime change in Russia.
