Description

This week on Beyond the Byline, EURACTIV looks at the recent events that unfolded in Russia, presenting a major domestic incident for President Vladimir Putin.The crisis ensued when Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner Group, a Russian state-funded paramilitary organisation, turned on the country's Ministry of Defence in what some are calling a coup attempt. While the exact details of the standoff are unclear, they indicate a significant escalation of tensions.How did we get here, and what does the clash mean for Putin's future, Ukraine and the EU? What could a post-Putin Russia look like?To get some answers, we speak to Zachary Paikin, researcher of EU foreign policy at the Centre for European Policy Studies, and Hans Kribbe, director of the Brussels Institute for Geopolitics.
