EXCLUSIVE: Putin's response to the Wagner mutiny was 'weak' and showed that his power is 'crumbling,' Ukraine's President Zelensky tells CNN
Putin faced the greatest threat to his authority in two decades last month when the head of the Wagner paramilitary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, launched a short-lived uprising, claiming control of military facilities in two Russian cities and marching toward Moscow before he agreed to stand down. “We see Putin’s reaction. It’s weak,” Zelensky told CNN’s Erin Burnett in Odesa, in an interview taped on Sunday. “Firstly, we see he doesn’t control everything.
That effort has come under intense scrutiny from Western allies and on Saturday a US official told CNN the head of the US Central Intelligence Agency , Bill Burns, had visited Kyiv recently and met with Zelensky and Ukrainian intelligence officials. Zelensky told CNN he was “surprised” to see his meeting with Burns reported in the media. “My communication with the CIA chief should always be behind the scenes,” he said.
