Secretary of State Antony Blinken says that Russians are questioning the premises of the War in Ukraine, after a brief revolt by the private mercenary group, the Wagner Group, earlier this weekend.
Blinken said that the war in the neighboring country has been a"devastating, strategic failure" for Russian President Vladimir Putin, while speaking on ABC's This Week on Sunday."So much that is beneath the surface has now surfaced. In terms of questioning the very premise for the war, in terms of questioning the conduct of the war, in terms of questioning what good this has actually done for Russia, and it’s been exactly the opposite," Blinken said.
Blinken also said that the focus of the United States is still on the war in Ukraine, despite the internal episode within Russia.
