About this episode
President Putin's hold on power in Russia has been shaken following a brief mutiny over the weekend led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the boss of the private military group Wagner. An apparent deal between Putin and Prigozhin has the Wagner leader now exiled to Belarus.

Joining host Niall Paterson on the Sky News Daily, our correspondent Diana Magnay, in Moscow, describes the feeling within the country on how close Prigozhin's army came. Plus, international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn, in Ukraine, analyses the impact of the mutiny on the war.

Producers: Emma Rae Woodhouse and Soila Apparicio
