And it was always a matter of when and not if there would be uprisings against the Russian leader.

The Wagner group is a killing machine which has made its presence felt in disparate parts of the world: Burkina Faso, Mali, Yemen, Syria and parts of Ukraine have been at the receiving end of Putin’s Frankenstein monster.
