How Prigozhin's rebellion could impact Putin

A significant rebellion by the head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group has triggered the gravest domestic crisis for Vladimir Putin since his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. So what impact could this have on the president's powerbase?

Sky's Diana Magnay looks at how Prigozhin's rebellion could impact Putin.

This is amazing! Now it's time for Ukraine to really take advantage!

Does this mean Prighozin won't be cooking any more meals for Putin?

[SeemoreDunkan]

Most Wagner soldiers killed are poorly trained prisoners who were “thrown into battle” while pro Wagner units were behind. They still have lots of skilled soldiers 🎉🎉🎉

The army was a much bigger force than Ukraine had yet they did not succeed so don't under estimate Wagner.

Wagner has taken Rostov-on-Don yesterday and now Voronezh today, and on route to Moscow. 25, 000 battle hardened mercenaries, on way to Moscow.

it'll all be over by tonight - one way or another

There's always a limited time to stop a rebellion. Once that time elapses the rebellion if not crushed, escalates into a war

I'm sure Prigozhin has his reasons, but if he is not careful, he will end up just like Ernst Rölm! I have a feeling that "The Night of All Knives" is coming!

The same happened to Hitler, all the rats started to run away in the end or tried to take over..

Everything is under control. Steven Segal is on the scene singing Imagine.

Will be interesting to see in the coming days if some Russian Corps in Ukraine currently, get the nod to pull out and return to Russia to stop Wagner?

[grimezi]

Let’s be careful what to wish for, it could be someone very dangerous who takes hold of power

[bobwhite]

What a mess, the growing instability in this region is dangerous and will eventually draw NATO into this.

It's not It's a special military operation in Russia by Wagner. June 24. to Ukraine Feb 24. 2022

I find it difficult to believe that the Russian Army is so depleted that a force of 25k could actually succeed. In 1941, when the Germans were advancing on Moscow, Stalin released his Siberian reserves. Are there no such reserves now, in the vast expanse of Russia?

[cyuiyuwyguiyui]

Haha any comments from the ruski trolls?
No? 🙂😂🤣😋😋

[marygunn]

Because we have boots on the ground helping them

[georgiost]

Bellarussia is a bit disappointed with Putin, however they admires Mr. Prigozhin, many good friends and allies nowadyes.

[thilomanten]

Putin now feels what an insurrection on its own hometurf feels like. Playbook by Strelkov in the Donbass! Now in three days to Moscow?!?!
