Never in the sixteen months since Russia invaded Ukraine has Putin’s grip on power appeared as unsteady as it did this weekend. For Biden, the moment was a reminder of how unpredictable the crisis remains.
It wasn’t obvious, for example, how a column of Wagner group mercenaries rapidly advancing toward Moscow might affect the war in Ukraine. Nor was it clear whether Russian troops under the command of President Vladimir Putin had the will to fight them. One thing, however, did seem apparent: whatever was happening on the M-4 highway in southern Russia had the potential to change the course of what has become a presidency-defining conflict.
” “But we can say this: First of all, what we’ve seen is extraordinary. And I think you’ve seen cracks emerge that weren’t there before,” he added. Officials watching events unfold late Friday and Saturday wondered how a threatened, boxed-in Putin would respond. In Biden’s briefing Saturday – convened in a small room near the White House mess hall because the Situation Room is being renovated – officials said there were no indications Russia’s nuclear posture had changed.
