Ukraine news latest — Putin faces mutiny as Wagner chief appears to call Russian tyrant ‘complete a*****e’ in video rant

VLADIMIR Putin is facing a mutiny within his army after the Wagner Mercenary chief appeared to call the Russian tyrant a “complete a*****e”. A video posted online by Yevgeny Prigozhin appears to show a direct attack on Vladimir Putin after he had repeatedly criticised senior officials. US thinktank the Institute for the Study of War has claimed Prigozhin used Victory Day to “mock Putin and question his judgement”.  In the video the mercenary leader refers to a “happy grandfather” figure who “thinks that he is good”. He then asks what Russia and future generations should do and how Russia can win if the “grandfather” turns out to be a “complete asshole”. Read our Ukraine war blog below for the latest news…
