Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director William J Burns has claimed the short-lived mutiny by Wagner Group in Russia last month under its chief Yevgeny Prigozhin exposed weaknesses in the system built by Russian President Vladimir Putin. He claimed that Prigozhin's rebellious act harmed Putin's "carefully cultivated image" and that he was waiting for the right time to exact retribution on the mercenary group leader.
