“How the mutiny in Russia will shape the battlefield in Ukraine”
“Yevgeny Prigozhin is retreating, but his mutiny undermines the Kremlin’s war”
“One month ago Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner group had just conquered the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut after a nearly year-long battle, crawling forward by a few dozen metres a day. On June 24th Ukrainians watched with amazement, and some glee, as Mr Prigozhin’s forces marched on Moscow, covering 800km in a few hours and shooting down several Russian aircraft. That campaign seems to have ended less than a day after it began. But Russia’s war in Ukraine is unlikely to return to business as usual.”
