Putin was ‘paralyzed’ with indecision, failed to issue orders during Wagner mutiny: report

Russian President Vladimir Putin became “paralyzed” with indecision and was “unable to act decisively” when Wagner Group boss Yevgeny Prigozhin sent his mercenaries marching toward Moscow — even though he had advance knowledge of the planned uprising, according to a new report.

Putin, 70, who has spent decades cultivating his persona as a resolute “tough guy” leader, allegedly issued no orders to crush the mutiny for most of the day on June 24 as the Kremlin descended into a state of “dismay and confusion,” Ukrainian and European intelligence sources told the Washington Post.

There was no immediate response to Prigozhin’s armed uprising aimed at overthrowing Russia’s military leadership over its handling of the Ukraine war coming from Putin, despite the fact that domestic security services had warned him two to three days earlier that his former ally was possibly plotting an insurrection, the Washington Post reported.
