Wagner attack was devastating for Putin

Video Summary

A potential power struggle is brewing in Russia as Prigozhin, head of the private military company Wagner, appears to be challenging President Putin’s authority. Prigozhin’s actions are well-planned and professional, suggesting a deliberate attempt to undermine Putin’s rule. The timing of the operation is significant, coming just after Prigozhin’s forces finished fighting in Bakhmut and the Russian army was bogged down by a Ukrainian offensive. This could be seen as a moment of opportunity for Prigozhin to strike.

Prigozhin’s popularity is growing, with support from ultranationalists and those opposed to the war. He has also become a social media influencer, criticizing government corruption and incompetence, and even expressing positive sentiments towards Ukraine. This could unite a significant portion of the Russian population against Putin.

If Prigozhin is not stopped, his influence could lead to a revolution, which would be devastating for Putin’s credibility. The key to his power is fear, and if Prigozhin can continue to assert himself, this fear may dissipate, and the regime could crumble. Meanwhile, Ukraine may also benefit from the situation, as Prigozhin’s actions may pull Russian military resources away from the frontlines, creating potential opportunities for a breakthrough in their offensive.
