What is a coup?

Global Truths with Dr Keith Suter

Russia was rocked last month by an attempted coup when hired-gun militia began a march toward the Kremlin. The world watched on as the first major challenge to Russian President Vladimir Putin's leadership played out live around the world.

In this episode of Global Truths, Dr Keith Suter explains what a coup is, and why the Wagner troops decided now was a good time to march toward Moscow.

Where is Yevgeny Prigozhin now and what does the failed coup mean for the future of Russia's war in Ukraine.
