There is disquiet in Russia amid political infighting between President Vladimir Putin's lieutenants. Analysts say the tensions between Wagner's Yevgeny Prigozhin and Russia's military brass herald shifts in Russia's political scene.

Wagner Group head Yevgeny Prigozhin attends the funeral of Dmitry Menshikov, a fighter of the Wagner group who died during a special operation in Ukraine, at the Beloostrovskoye cemetery outside St. Petersburg, Russia, on Dec. 24, 2022. Prigozhin's criticism of the top military brass is in stark contrast with more than two decades of rigidly controlled rule by President Vladimir Putin without any sign of infighting among his top lieutenants.

European Union countries agree on a new package of sanctions against Russia over the war in UkraineEuropean Union countries have agreed on a new package of sanctions against Russia for its war against Ukraine. The package includes measures aimed at countering sanctions circumvention and individual listings. The EU had previously imposed 10 rounds of sanctions on Russia since President Vladimir Putin ordered his forces into Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. Banks, companies and markets have been hit — even parts of the sensitive energy sector. More than 1,000 officials are subject to asset freezes and travel bans. Much work in the latest batch of sanctions has involved closing loopholes so that goods vital to Putin’s war effort don’t get through via nations that trade with the EU and have maintained a business-as-usual relationship with Moscow.
