Antony Blinken Sunday said the aborted Wagner rebellion against Vladimir Putin shows the depths of disagreements over his decision to invade Ukraine last year
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday said the aborted uprising against Russian President Vladimir Putin by a mercenary leader and close ally underscores how Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine has sown chaos in his own country, too.
“If you put this in context 16 months ago, Putin was on the doorstep of Kyiv in Ukraine, looking to take the city in a matter of days, erase the country from the map. Now, he’s had to defend Moscow, Russia’s capital, against a mercenary of his own making,” Blinken told ABC “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl.
