‘Putin Likely Very Scared Of Mutiny And Hiding Somewhere’: Ukraine President Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the armed insurrection by members of the Wagner mercenary group highlighted Russia's political instability. The ongoing events pose a significant challenge to the long-standing rule of the Kremlin chief and represent Russia's most critical security crisis since his rise to power in late 1999.

In a series of Tweets, Zelensky accused Putin of deploying "hundreds of thousands" to the war to protect himself in the Moscow region, using weapons that he provided. Russia’s full-scale weakness is obvious, and Ukraine is able to protect Europe from the spread of Russian evil and chaos, Zelensky said. 

“Russia’s weakness is obvious. Full-scale weakness. And the longer Russia keeps its troops and mercenaries on our land, the more chaos, pain, and problems it will have for itself later. It is also obvious. Ukraine is able to protect Europe from the spread of Russian evil and chaos (sic),” Zelensky noted.
 
He further stated, "Russia has long concealed its weakness and the incompetence of its government through propaganda (sic)."

“And all this is one person, who again and again scares by the year 1917, although he is able to result in nothing else but this (sic),” Zelensky added.
 
President Zelensky urged Ukrainians to maintain their resilience, unity, and strength, and he expressed confidence in Ukrainian commanders and warriors.
