It is actually instructive to read what Zels' view is of the whole thing (per ABC News item):Wagner troops retreat from captured Russian city 'to avoid bloodshed' - ABC News
(I suspect both Zels and the UK MInistry of Defence need to undertake studies in objective analysis. If Zels is right, he should embark on a massive counteroffensive right now. If he is wrong, he should kneel down and pray because Armageddon doth cometh.)"Zelenskyy comments on Wagner mutiny
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday that a revolt by Wagner mercenary troops in Russia exposed complete chaos in the country.
"Today the world can see that the masters of Russia control nothing. And that means nothing," Mr Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address.
"Simply complete chaos. An absence of any predictability,"
Mr Zelenskyy said Ukrainians would not be silent, would not remain inactive, and that "the security of Europe's eastern flank depends strictly on our defences".
And addressing Mr Putin while switching from Ukrainian into Russian, Mr Zelenskyy said: "The longer your troops remain on Ukrainian land, the greater the devastation they will bring to Russia.""
And from the same news item - UK views (noting the UK quite simply hates the CIC of Russia):
""This represents the most significant challenge to the Russian state in recent times," Britain's Defence Ministry said."
