Although Putin managed to prevent the appearance of mercenaries in Moscow at the last moment, his image as a ruler with complete political control over the country has been seriously shaken.
This is how Bloomberg assesses the main consequence of Saturday evening.
Citing sources, he claims that Putin ignored repeated warnings about the approach of Wagner fighters to Moscow, which shocked his entourage.
The Russian leader allowed the mercenaries to get so close that the regional authorities had to bring in tanks and bring in the military for defense. This fueled unthinkable doubts about Putin’s ability to run the country.
This is a rare case when assessments of the incident in Moscow and the West agree in many respects.
The US and the EU also believe that the path’s reputation and absolute power have been dealt a powerful blow. And the ambiguous agreement with Yevgen Prigozhin, who agreed not to go to Moscow, does not at all mean a return to the status quo.
The confrontation with the Russian authorities is far from over, writes Bloomberg.
