A weekend of mayhem has left observers of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine questioning what could happen next.
Ultimately, Barranco said the recent turn of events is likely to provide Ukraine's military leadership with something of an opportunity after more than 16 months of fighting. He said the best chance for a successful Ukrainian counteroffensive would be to seek to force Russian forces back from their 600 miles of layered fighting positions in the country.
In return, Putin vowed to crush what he described as an armed mutiny, accusing Prigozhin of "treason" in a televised address. "We agree that the russian authorities are weak and that withdrawing russian troops from Ukraine is the best choice for the kremlin," Reznikov said on Twitter.that the ability of Russian forces to conduct both offensive and defensive operations in Ukraine had not been "substantially impacted" by the Wagner Group's rebellion over the weekend.
"Don't worry, I think the likelihood of that still remains very low," Brenton said. "I don't see the level of political instability in Russia as anything like at the level where real civil war [or] a real breakout of order that you start worrying about nuclear weapons falling into the wrong hands."
