Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the clash in Russia exposed 'cracks' in the nation that 'weren't there before.'
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the chaos that unfolded in Russia on Saturday has exposed "cracks" in the nation.
"This is just an added chapter to a very, very bad book that Putin has written for Russia," Blinken said. In exchange for turning back, the criminal case against Prigozhin was dropped, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian reporters, according to the state-controlled outlet TASS. Prigozhin himself "will go to Belarus," Peskov said, describing what appeared to be a sort of official exile.
"This is just an added chapter to a very, very bad book that Putin has written for Russia," Blinken told CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday.
