The military uprising in Russia by the owner of the private military company Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, showed the weakness of the Kremlin and the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The demarche of this war criminal is likely to cause significant damage to the efforts of the aggressor country in its war against Ukraine. The deal between Prigozhin and Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko regarding de-escalation is short-term, not long-term. This is stated in a new report from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
The image of Putin appearing on national television calling for an end to the armed uprising and warning of a repeat of the 1917 revolution, and then demanding mediation from a foreign leader to resolve the uprising, will have a lasting impact, analysts said.
The ISW added that this uprising showed not only the weakness of the Russian security forces, but also the inability of the dictator Vladimir Putin himself to use his forces in a timely manner to repel an internal threat.
The “Wagnerites” attack on Moscow showed how powerless Russian regular troops, special services and other security forces are. This rebellion showed that private armies could “achieve amazing results.”
Despite this, analysts do not believe that the collapse of the Putin regime will happen soon. However, Prigozhin’s march on Moscow is likely to cause significant damage to the dictatorship and Russia’s military efforts in its war against Ukraine.
Recall that on the evening of 24 it became known that the self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko held talks with the owner of the Wagner PPK, Yevgeny Prigozhin, during which agreements were reached on “the inadmissibility of resolving a bloody massacre on the territory of Russia.” “Wagnerites” deploy columns and return to field camps.
