BLUF: Yevgeny Prigozhin’s failed rebellion against Vladimir Putin was not an attempt to overthrow the Russian leader but rather a desperate attempt to retain his wealth and power after falling out of favor due to government interference. Prigozhin’s plan to kidnap top military officials Sergei Shoigu and Valery Gerasimov was thwarted, leaving him with no choice but to make a deal and end his rebellion. The Western world hoped for an uprising against Putin, but the truth is that he remains popular among the Russian population, who also support a stronger stance against Ukraine. The war in Ukraine is far from over, with the Russians adopting a war of attrition strategy.
