Britain must prepare for the sudden collapse of Russia after the failed coup attempt, internal government assessments have warned.
An apparent putsch in the largest nuclear power in the world was narrowly avoided over the weekend when Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner group, ordered mercenaries to halt their march to Moscow after a last-minute deal with the Kremlin.
President Putin, who had given a televised address vowing “brutal” retaliation against the rebels, spared Prigozhin any punishment as part of an agreement that will exile the warlord in Belarus. Neither the Russian leader nor his defence staff appeared in public and Prigozhin’s whereabouts remain unknown.
政府內部評估警告說，英國必須為政變失敗後俄羅斯突然崩潰做好準備。
週末，瓦格納集團領導人葉夫根尼·普里戈任(Yevgeny Prigozhin)在與克里姆林宮達成最後一刻協議後，下令僱傭軍停止向莫斯科進軍，這才勉強避免了世界上最大核國家發生一場明顯的政變。
普京總統發表電視講話，誓言對叛亂分子進行“殘酷”報復，作為將普里戈任流放到白俄羅斯的協議的一部分，普里戈任免遭任何懲罰。俄羅斯領導人和他的國防人員都沒有公開露面，普里戈任的下落仍然不明
