The mutiny was not, ostensibly, about Putin at all. Yevgeny Prigozhin's rebellion may have abruptly ended before Wagner's forces entered Moscow, but the very fact that a warlord and thousands of his soldiers were able to threaten the capital - and that a foreign leader had to step in to negotiate a peace deal - is a humiliating blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin from which he will never fully recover, experts said in the wake of a remarkable 48 hours. The Wagner boss showed that the Russian president no longer enjoys a monopoly of force in his country.Īmong Moscow's elites, "there is the growing feeling that he is a lame duck," a Russian journalist said. Yevgeny Prigozhin's rebellion is over but the damage to Vladimir Putin is irreversible, experts say.
