MOSCOW, RUSSIA - JUNE 22: (RUSSIA OUT) Russian President Vladimir Putin attends a ceremony, marking the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, Jin Moscow, Russia. And it will be a shock that the most prominent military figure in Russia, perhaps the only one with the temerity to rail publicly against the Russian top brass’s conduct of the war and supply shortages across the military, took up arms to solve the situation. But slowly the news of the failed insurrection will filter down. Troops in the trenches are often denied access to smartphones to not betray their locations or other sensitive data to Ukrainian spies. And there are three different ways this can assist Ukraine.įirstly, there must have been a radical impact on Russian military morale. It also takes time to relocate hundreds or thousands of soldiers, and perhaps even longer to soften the ground ahead for an assault.īut the weekend’s events have left an indelible mark on the Kremlin’s chances of success in the war. Ukrainian leaders won’t want to rush into their own mistake just when Russia is making a lot of its own. The sudden application of a bulk of Ukraine’s forces to exploit Russian weaknesses is something Kyiv will doubtless have been patiently waiting for and weighing the merits of for weeks. But this is not something you would seek to rush or get wrong. Ukraine and its NATO allies will urgently be trying to assess what and where they are, and whether they provide a material advantage to their counteroffensive. This all provides opportunities that Russia’s enemies must seize carefully. Wagner forces drove tanks into Rostov-on-Don on June 24, 2023. But the Russian military may have panicked at seeing mercenaries advance on Moscow and sent help. The group appears to have prepared their rebellion for some time and the units used will hence not have been suddenly withdrawn from the trenches last week. There will undoubtedly have been some changes to Russia’s military positioning as a result of Wagner’s failed insurrection. Chechen fighters are often thought to stay back from the very front line, but their absence even in the reserve will be felt.

Separately, Russian state media reported that 3,000 Chechen fighters had been moved to Moscow to assist in its defense, and it is likely that at least one unit heralded from the hotly contested town of Mariinka. But there has been no Russian collapse, despite that appearing a major possibility in Moscow during a large part of Saturday, as mutinous Wagner forces threatened to march on the Russian capital.ĭisruption to Russia’s presence around Bakhmut is a more likely outcome from the weekend’s turmoil, where some Wagner fighters may retain a presence but where Ukraine has already been advancing. On Monday morning, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Mailar said Ukrainian troops had retaken Rivnopil in Donetsk region, which might suggest greater progress in the south.

Ukraine’s forces have announced slight changes along the southern front during the weekend and more sustained progress around the largely symbolic city of Bakhmut – where thousands of Wagner fighters likely died over the winter.
