RAVAGED by cancer, dying Russian dictator Vladimir Putin was at his weakest when the bloodthirsty leader of his handpicked Wagner mercenary group mercilessly turned on him and came within 100 miles of taking down his government!
International military sources exclusively tell The National ENQUIRER the mercenary's armed revolt was specifically launched to expose Putin's vulnerability and send a message to the Russian people their country is virtually rudderless!
"The Wagner Group waited until Putin was exposed as a sick and ineffectual man incapable of controlling his own military in a time of war!" reveals a well-placed international terror source. "Now he is more vulnerable than ever and ready to be toppled by his people and the many enemies he has within the Russian government."
The shocking coup involved a reported 25,000 war-hardened soldiers attached to the notorious Wagner Group, led by reputed Russian mobster and former Putin confidant - Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Prigozhin's ruthless army of paid killers and convicts has racked up nearly ALL of Russia's victories in the Ukraine invasion while Putin's struggling, disheartened regular Army soldiers continue to lose battle after battle or just surrender outright!
