Mutiny shows damage Putin has done to Russia, says CIA chief FMTNews FMTWorld
CIA director William Burns said Yevgeny Prigozhin’s mutiny was an ‘armed challenge to the Russian state’.
For months, Prigozhin had been openly insulting Putin’s most senior military men, using a variety of crude expletives and prison slang that shocked top Russian officials but were left unanswered in public by Putin. Burns, who served as US ambassador to Russia from 2005 to 2008 and was appointed CIA director in 2021, cast Prigozhin’s mutiny as an “armed challenge to the Russian state”.
But Burns said that the war had already been a strategic failure for Russia by laying bare its military weakness and damaging the Russian economy for years to come, while the Nato military alliance was growing bigger and stronger. “Disaffection with the war will continue to gnaw away at the Russian leadership beneath the steady diet of state propaganda and practiced repression,” Burns said.
