Russian President Vladimir Putin has called an attempted military mutiny by the leader of Russian mercenary force Wagner, Yevgeni Prigozhin, as a "stab in the back".

Wagner troops and tanks have been pictured on the streets of the southern Russian city of Rostov.

On Friday night, security in Russia was tightened, the internet was restricted and military trucks were spotted on Moscow streets.

Sergey Radchenko, professor of International Relations at the John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, gives his take on what's happening in Russia.
