Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy today said "Russia‍‍`s weakness is obvious" and that the longer Moscow keeps its troops and mercenaries in Ukraine, the more chaos it would invite back home.

He made the comments on the Telegram messaging app amid an apparent mutiny today by Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin against the Russian military.

"Russia‍‍`s weakness is obvious. Full-scale weakness," Zelenskiy wrote.

"And the longer Russia keeps its troops and mercenaries on our land, the more chaos, pain and problems it will have for itself later."
