Cracks in Putins authority in Russia exposed by Wagner rebellion BBC News

An attempted armed mutiny in Russia shows real cracks in President Vladimir Putin s authority, America s top diplomat Antony Blinken has said. He told US media Saturday s rebellion by Yevgeny Prigozhin s Wagner fighters was a direct challenge to Mr Putin, forcing him into an amnesty agreement. The deal halted Wagner s march on Moscow. The mercenaries had earlier seized two major Russian cities. Mr Putin accused the group of treason, but all charges were later dropped. Please subscribe here: , BBCNews
