DNA confirms Prigozhin was killed in the crash.
I was 100% sure this guy died in the plane crash, now that the Russian government has made a statement with proof of his demise I’m only 70% sure he died in the plane crash.
I expect Wagner will be disbanded and integrated into the military (except any remaining leadership).
I kind of doubt it. There’s a lot of value for Russia in being able to say Wagner operates at arms length, even if Russia actually has full control.
I imagine a complete overhaul and rebranding with a tighter leash on the head. There’s no way Putin wouldn’t want a non state military branch at his disposal.
Until it tries to march on Moscow. Then it’s not worth the risk. If it stays it will be severely defanged.
I was really hoping he would pop like a bad Soap Opera character and give Putin more trouble. But on the upside he is dead.
I just imagine him running a hotdog cart outside the gates of hell. Back to his humble beginnings and all that
