Kyiv Officials: Countdown to Putin's Demise Begins as Wagner Group Mutiny Looms
Attention Turns to Mutiny as Ukraine Braces for EURO 2024
Follow the Latest Developments in the Russia-Ukraine War
As Ukraine prepares to host the 2024 UEFA European Championship, Kyiv officials have made a bold prediction: the war with Russia will come to an end before the tournament begins.
This optimism stems from the recent mutiny within the Wagner Group, a mercenary army that has played a key role in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. According to intelligence sources, the Wagner mercenaries are growing increasingly dissatisfied with the conduct of the war and are planning to turn against President Vladimir Putin.
If the Wagner Group mutiny succeeds, it could cripple Putin's war effort and force him to withdraw from Ukraine. This would pave the way for the restoration of peace and the rebuilding of the war-torn nation.
However, experts caution that the Wagner mutiny is still in its early stages and could face significant resistance from Putin's loyalists. Nonetheless, Kyiv officials remain hopeful that the mutiny will ultimately lead to Putin's downfall and the end of the war.
In the meantime, the world continues to watch with bated breath as the conflict unfolds. Follow the latest news about the Russia-Ukraine war on BBC News for up-to-date reports, verified videos, maps, and expert analysis from our correspondents on the ground.
