America's top diplomat says Russia's president was forced into amnesty agreement

America's top diplomat says Russia's president was forced into amnesty agreement.

America's top diplomat Antony Blinken has said an attempted armed mutiny in Russia shows "real cracks" in President Vladimir Putin's authority. He said Saturday's rebellion by Yevgeny Prigozhin's Wagner fighters was a "direct challenge" to Mr Putin, forcing him into an amnesty agreement.
