Is Putin out for revenge against Wagner boss Prigozhin? CIA director thinks so

According to William Burns, the director of the CIA, it is quite possible that Russian President Vladimir Putin is out for revenge against Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin. He told the Aspen Security Forum on Thursday. The CIA director suspects that Putin is now trying to buy time while figuring out how to deal with Prigozhin. A month ago, the latter, together with the Wagner group, led a mutiny in Russia that exposed major weaknesses in Putin’s power system. “What we’re seeing is a very complicated dance,” the CIA director said.
