For two days after Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin called off his abortive mutiny, Russian President Vladimir Putin said nothing in public. Having faced the greatest challenge to his authority in 23 years, and almost witnessed his country tip into civil war, many expected the president to respond with sound and fury.

New Year’s resolutions aren’t doomed to fail, Halloween isn’t about devil worship, and Christmas isn’t celebrated on December 25 because Jesus was born that day.

Having taken the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut after a months-long battle, Russia’s Wagner mercenary group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Tuesday that he was “not sure” if Wagner would stay in Ukraine. Wagner mercenaries have previously been active in parts of Africa and the Middle East, with a few contracts remaining there. Last month, Prigozhin launched a scathing attack on Vladimir Putin‘s invasion strategy, claiming that Russia could face a revolution similar to 1917 and lose the war in Ukraine unless changes are made by Kremlin leadership. Meanwhile, Russia launched a “massive” attack overnight on the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, killing at least ten people and wounding 28 others. “As of 1300 (1000 GMT) 10 people have been killed,” city mayor Oleksandr Vilkul said in a Telegram post, adding that another person was under the rubble and a further 28 were injured. At least 10 out of 14 cruise missiles and one out of four Iranian-made drones fired by Russia were downed by Ukraine’s air forces, the country’s top military command said.
