The Impact of Wagner's Mutiny on Russia and Beyond
TL;DR
Russian President Vladimir Putin's handling of the Wagner uprising has been criticized by pro-war Russian figures who mocked his speeches praising the "courage" of the mercenaries who killed several service members and tried to seize control of military leadership. Putin claimed that neither the nation nor the country's military supported the Wagner fighters in their uprising, despite videos of residents cheering on the mercenaries. The Kremlin has been accused of hoping the whole fiasco would be forgotten, but pro-Kremlin military bloggers insist that a more decisive response will soon be announced.
