The Wagner Mutiny: A Step Towards Putin's Ouster

A former Russian diplomat, Boris Bondarev, believes that the recent mutiny attempt by the Wagner Group could hasten President Putin's eventual ouster, stating that the war in Ukraine has been a source of frustration among Russia's elite. Bondarev, who has become a vocal critic of Putin's government, believes that the mutiny reinforces the growing disillusionment about Putin's leadership. The mutiny, which was called off after a deal with the Kremlin, has sparked reports of infighting within the Russian military leadership, with some officials suggesting that other generals may have supported the mutiny.
