Yevgeny Prigozhin took a shocking step on Friday, redirecting units of his Wagner Private Military Company from Ukraine into Russia. Footage of Wagner forces charging toward Moscow seized the world, and Vladimir Putin dug in to defend his capital. The day ended in an unspecified deal, apparently brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, but little is known about its terms. What is clear is that this is a momentous event for the Russian government, the war in Ukraine, and Putin’s rule. Please join Hudson’s Peter Rough as he sits down with Senior Fellows Rebeccah Heinrichs, Can Kasapoğlu, and Luke Coffey to sort through what it all means and what policymakers should focus on next.
