European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the aborted mutiny of Wagner Group mercenaries against the Russian forces showed proof of “fragilities” in Moscow’s political system and weakness in its military.
“The most important conclusion is that the war against Ukraine launched by Putin and the monster that Putin created with Wagner, the monster is biting him now,” Borell told reports on Monday in Luxembourg ahead of a meeting of EU ministers, according to a June 26 tweet by the European External Action Service. “The monster is acting against its creator. The political system is showing its fragilities, and the military power is cracking. So this is an important consequence of the war in Ukraine.”
