The US expected the mutiny attempt by the private military company Wagner to be “a great deal more violent and bloody” than it actually was. Unfortunately for Washington, a Bolshevik-like revolution was not repeated to usurp Russia’s war effort. At the same time, the head of EU Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, incorrectly espouses that the Russian military will soon crack.
According to US media reports, the intelligence community in Washington claims to have had information about Yevgeny Prigozhin’s plans and believed that this would result in further bloodshed.
“I do know that we assessed it was going to be a great deal more violent and bloody,” a Biden administration official told CNN.
