Russian Military Officers Determined to Topple Putin Supported Wagner's Mutiny, Says Ukraine Official

Ukraine's Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, claims that Yevgeny Prigozhin, the boss of the Wagner Group, was in league with 14 Russian military officers who are determined to change the leadership of Russia and topple President Vladimir Putin. The U.S. has intelligence suggesting that a senior Russian general had advanced knowledge of the failed mutiny orchestrated by Prigozhin. Analysts believe that Putin has been weakened by the revolt and may face another rebellion, while Ukraine sees the chaos as an opportunity to benefit its counteroffensive against Russia's invasion. European allies express concern about a "weaker" Putin and the risk of internal instability in Russia.
