The European Union officials have warned that Russia has become more dangerous following last weekend’s short-lived mutiny by the country’s Wagner mercenary force which had exposed that President Vladimir Putin was politically weaker than previously thought.
Attending an EU summit in Brussels on Thursday, senior officials reiterated that the recent chaos in Russia – where the mercenary force came within 200km of Moscow (125 miles) on Saturday – was an internal matter in which their governments played no role, but a weakened Putin was a concern for Europe.
