The Wagner Mutiny: Implications For Putin, Russia and the War in Ukraine 

 

An armed rebellion in Russia led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the private military company (PMC) Wagner, shocked the world and amounted to the most significant challenge to Putin’s rule in over two decades. Although the revolt was short-lived, new questions about Putin’s hold on power remain.

Michèle Flournoy, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Teneo's partner firm WestExec Advisors and Chair of the Center for a New American Security; Andrea Kendall-Taylor, Senior Advisor at WestExec Advisors and former Deputy National Intelligence Officer for Russia and Eurasia at the National Intelligence Council; Andrius Tursa, Central & Eastern Europe Advisor for Teneo, join our host Kevin Kajiwara for an important update on Russia’s war against Ukraine, the weakening of Putin’s grip on power and how a period of instability in Russia might impact Ukraine and the rest of the world
