A rare uprising in Russia is thought to be reflective of Vladimir Putin's splintering leadership.
The US says the weekend mutiny by Yevgeny Prigozhin's Wagner fighters has forced the Russian president into an amnesty agreement.
Two major cities had been seized before the deal halted Wagner's march on Moscow.
Putin accused the group of treason but all charges have since been dropped.
The Center for European Policy Analysis' Edward Lucas told Mike Hosking it shows that Putin is weak.
He says the view of Putin as a 'strong man' who has all of Russia in his grip is out-of-date, because this coup wouldn't have happened if he was in charge.
