Vladimir Putin
Putin may still seek revenge on Wagner boss – CIA chief
WASHINGTON — Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to buy time while he works out how to deal with Yevgeny Prighozin, says the director of the CIA.Prigozhin is the head of the Wagner mercenary group who led a mutiny in Russia a month ago.That mutiny exposed significant weaknesses in the system of power Putin has built, CIA head William Burns said.He told the Aspen Security Forum that Russia's leader may still seek retribution against Prigozhin."What we are seeing is a very complicated dance," the CIA chief said on Thursday.Prigozhin has moved around but had been in the Belarus capital of Minsk recently as well as Russia, he said when asked about a recent video apparently showing the Wagner boss in Belarus.Putin is likely to be trying to buy time as he works out how...

Video appears to show Wagner boss in Belarus
MINSK — A video on Telegram channels linked to the Wagner mercenary group appears to show its boss Yevgeny Prigozhin in Belarus.He is seen welcoming fighters and describing recent developments on the front line in Ukraine as a "disgrace".He also hints that Wagner might rejoin the war at a later date.The video also appears to confirm a statement by Belarus that Wagner fighters were now acting as military instructors for the country's army.This would be the first footage of Prigozhin seen since Wagner launched an armed mutiny inside Russia in late June.Shot in low light, it shows Prigozhin standing on an asphalt track in a field, surrounded by trees and what look like warehouses and tents.BBC Verify is confident that the layout of the tents, trees and buildings matches that...
