    If true, this is a major setback for Putin.

    I don’t think this little rebellion has a chance to overthrow Putin. Maybe if all of Wagner rebelled?

      little rebellion

      They already control a city with one million inhabitants, with one of the five military headquarters of the Russian military. I wouldn’t call this a “small rebellion” yet.

        They’re a 50000-person-strong PMC. No way can they take on the full might of the Russian military unless you see huge swathes of the military join their rebellion.
