The monster is acting against his creator, says EU foreign policy chief of Prigozhin mutiny

Referring to Prigozhin as akin to Vladimir Putin's Frankenstein's monster, Borrell said: 'That monster is acting against his creator, the political system, it's showing the fragilities and the military power is cracking.
