Warmonger Vladimir Putin has suffered a brutal blow to his authority after mercenaries aborted a coup aimed at ousting Russia’s top military leaders.
After 24 hours of mayhem, Wagner Group commander Yevgeny Prigozhin called off his fighters’ advance just 120 miles from Moscow.
The mutinous mercenaries had seized control of military facilities in the cities of Rostov-on-Don and Voronezh as they marched on the capital.
