TL;DR Summary

Former US ambassador to Russia, John J. Sullivan, said that Putin's reliance on Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko to resolve the Wagner Group's uprising shows "actual weakness." Sullivan added that Putin's deal with Lukashenko, a person he has called a traitor, reveals his weakness. Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin led his mercenary group in an uprising on Saturday, which was resolved after Lukashenko personally offered to broker a deal. Prigozhin will go into exile in Belarus in exchange for not being prosecuted for the uprising.
