WSJ: Russia's president says he ordered the military to crush Wagner's power grab.

[surfnole]

The order comes after the Wagner paramilitary group seized the southern Russian city of Rostov, a move Putin described as treason that put the country’s survival in peril. Wagner owner Yevgeny Prigozhin moved his forces to Rostov after claiming that the Russian military killed “an enormous amount” of his troops in Friday strikes. Russia's military denied the strikes had occurred. Now members of Wagner are moving toward Moscow. The crisis represents the most serious challenge to Putin’s 23-year rule.

Wagner’s aborted mutiny leaves no winners in Russia.

Russia began addressing the damage of Saturday’s violence as residents tried to understand how the paramilitary group’s mutiny will affect President Vladimir Putin’s regime. One conclusion was that none of the players in the power struggle touched off by Wagner’s leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, a onetime Putin confidant who seized the southern city of Rostov on Saturday morning, has been strengthened by the ordeal. It also underscores the growing tensions within the Russian establishment and armed forces amid the war in Ukraine. The day's violence ended with a truce between Putin and the rebels brokered by the president of Belarus. Prigozhin was to relocate to Belarus, but his whereabouts were unclear on Sunday.
