BBC World Service - Weekend, The end of the road for Putin?

Has the Wagner mutiny fatally undermined the Russian leader?

Ukrainian officials say they’re counting down to the end of Vladimir Putin’s leadership, we ask how much damage the Wagner mutiny has done to the Russian President. 

Also on the programme: French police arrest almost 500 people as rioting continues for a fourth night; and unease in South Korea as Japan prepares to dump radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Jill Rutter, senior research fellow at UK in a Changing Europe, and Emile Chabal, Reader in History at the University of Edinburgh.
