Bill Taylor, the former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, speaks on the attempted Wagner Group rebellion and its effects on the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Members of the Wagner Group military company sit atop of a tank on a street in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, June 24, 2023, prior to leaving an area at the headquarters of the Southern Military District.The attempted rebellion over the weekend against President Vladimir Putin by the Russia-backed private military company the Wagner Group, run by former Putin confidant Yevgeny Prigozhin, shocked world observers and leaders.
BILL TAYLOR: It's two thugs. There are two Mafia heads going after each other. President Putin is trying to say that he's got things under control. He clearly didn't have things under control over the weekend. And Mr. Prigozhin says that he wasn't really trying for a coup. He wasn't attempting to take down the Russian government. It was just really a protest. Neither of these stories [are] very credible.
And clearly, Prigozhin was angry about that. And he thought there would be other military leaders who were similarly angry. As he approached Moscow, it must have become clear to him that these other military leaders were keeping their heads down.ABC NEWS LIVE: And today, Putin gave commanders and soldiers in the Wagner group a few options to join the Russian military, drop their weapons and go home or go to Belarus. We're talking about members of a formidable fighting force.
