The tried coup led on Saturday by Wagner chief Prigozhin helps increasingly more Russians to grasp their president is "no longer up to the job", an professional has stated.

Political analyst, creator and Russia professional Mark Galeotti famous how Putin "cannot escape the blame" for the disaster sparked by the Wagner Group's transfer on Saturday, as he claimed even his advisers had warned him in regards to the hazard offered by Prigozhin.

However, Mr Galeotti claimed, the Russian chief "always tries to dodge tough decisions as long as he can, and avoided doing anything about Prigozhin until it was too late".

This newest disaster, which comes because the Russian financial system is being impacted by sanctions and the struggle in Ukraine is proving to be a pricey and bloody enterprise, could contribute to dent the president's picture, Mr Galeotti stated.

In an op-ed for The Sun, the professional wrote: "More and more people are coming to realise that the 70-year-old Putin is no longer up to the job.

"It is not any coincidence that he's more and more often called 'ded', the Russian for grandfather."

As many as 25,000 Wagner Group troops had been believed to be stationed in Ukraine previous to the rebellion.

While it has been reported some have returned to the Russian-held Ukrainian territories, it is not clear what the way forward for the mercenaries within the battle could also be.

In his speech on Monday, the Russian president gave Wagner troopers the selection to both go to Belarus with Prigozhin, be part of the Russian military or return dwelling.

As it's unlikely all of the mercenaries will toe the road, the Russian Ministry of Defence could have misplaced hundreds of expert troopers to face the Ukrainian counter-offensive.
