Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday said the short-lived rebellion from Wagner Group head Yevgeny Prigozhin "shows real cracks" within Russia as it wages its war on Ukraine.
"Prigozhin himself, in this entire incident, has raised profound questions about the very premises for Russian aggression against Ukraine in the first place, saying that Ukraine or NATO did not pose a threat to Russia, which is part of Putin's narrative. And it was a direct challenge to Putin's authority. So this raises profound questions. It shows real cracks," Blinken said on CBS News's "Face the Nation," referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. |
