Putin’s Power Is Undermined by Russian Mercenaries’ Revolt
Putin’s Power , Is Undermined by , Russian Mercenaries’ Revolt.
The revolt staged by the leader of the mercenary group Wagner represented the first notable challenge to Putin's power in two decades.
.
While the Wagner troops turned back from Moscow over the weekend, .
... they easily took control of a major military base in the large city of Rostov-on-Don.
This whole episode has sowed really profound anxiety across Russia’s elites, Nigel Gould-Davies, Institute for Strategic Studies, via AP News.
[The events] severely shake confidence in Putin among those around him who matter, Nigel Gould-Davies, Institute for Strategic Studies, via AP News.
The leader of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, is a Russian oligarch and has been a close ally of Putin.
Hardliners in Russia's government pointed to the ease at which his troops marched on toward Moscow, and that he has been granted amnesty.
Prigozhin demonstrated that it’s possible to capture a city of a million people with impunity,

country’s leadership, , Viktor Alksnis, Hardline Critic of Putin, via AP News.

closer to its final and
irreparable collapse, Viktor Alksnis, Hardline Critic of Putin, via AP News.
Outside analysis has been not much better for Putin.
That the crisis occurred during Russia's war with Ukraine could spell disaster for Putin.

Russia Vetoes UN Resolution , to Prevent Nukes in Space.
The resolution was sponsored
by Japan and the United States.
It called on all nations to refrain from developing or deploying nuclear weapons "or other weapons of mass destruction in space," 'The Guardian' reports. .
A 1967 international treaty
already bans such weapons in space.
Russia’s U.N. Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia,
vetoed the resolution, calling it "absolutely absurd and politicized," as well as a "dirty spectacle.".
China abstained from voting, while the rest of the 15-member council voted in favor of the resolution. .
Today’s veto begs the question:
Why? Why, if you are following the
rules, would you not support a
resolution that reaffirms them?
What could you possibly be hiding, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., via 'The Guardian'.
Russia and China would rather establish an
amendment calling on all nations "to prevent for
all time the placement of weapons in outer space, and the threat of use of force in outer spaces.".
We want a ban on the placement of
weapons of any kind in outer space, not
just WMDs [weapons of mass destruction].
But you don’t want that. And let me ask
you that very same question. Why?, Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, via 'The Guardian'.
Nebenzia went on to say, "if we recall that the U.S. and their allies announced some time ago plans to place weapons … in outer space.".
The U.S.-Japan resolution was announced in March after it was determined that Russia was in possession of "a 'troubling' anti-satellite weapon capability," 'The Guardian' reports.
However, earlier this year, Putin said, , "Our position is clear and transparent: We have always been categorically against and are now against the deployment of nuclear weapons in space."

doesn’t just happen by magic, Senate Majority Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, via statement

The president of Ukraine made the remarks on April 7 during a video meeting with UNITED24, a Ukrainian fundraising group, CNN reports. .
It’s important to specifically
address the Congress: if the
Congress doesn’t help Ukraine,
Ukraine will lose the war, Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine,
via video meeting with UNITED24.
If Ukraine loses this war, other
countries will be attacked. This is a fact, Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine,
via video meeting with UNITED24.
Zelensky's statement comes as
Congress has failed to pass an aid package for the war-torn nation in months, CNN reports. .
A $95.3 billion foreign aid bill,
which contained aid for both Ukraine and Israel, was passed by the Senate in February.
but House Speaker Mike Johnson
has not yet held a vote on it.
According to Franz-Stefan Gady of the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
Ukraine has entered a
"transitional phase" of the war.
Russia is conducting probing
attacks along the front line. It is
trying to advance where it can. And
it is preparing what seems to be a
future offensive down the road, Franz-Stefan Gady, an associate fellow at the
International Institute for Strategic Studies, to CNN.
This year, Ukraine really needs U.S.
support. There’s certain weapons
systems, certain logistical support
which the European countries
simply cannot provide to Ukraine, Franz-Stefan Gady, an associate fellow at the
International Institute for Strategic Studies, to CNN
