Well, Prigozhin has said:
What the actual fallout to Prigozhin will be is IMO still TBD. Many in Russia are still calling for his head. What will happen at the highest levels of the Russian Army is still TBD as well. Shoigu has been "seen", but only on video apparently, so the date may be in question. Even if Putin intends to replace the current leadership, he isn't going to do it very soon. He can't appear to have been forced. Of course, they could fall out of a window, but I doubt that is the plan. What it all means is still TBD as far as I can tell. It also may not be known to Putin, as he may have to take steps he would prefer not to in order to keep everybody "inside the tent".
Well, Prigozhin has said:
Quote:Lukashenko extended his hand and offered to find solutions for the further work of Wagner Private Military Company in a legal jurisdiction.So, if true, the Wagner Company can continue to operate from Belarus and do Putin's "dirty work" outside Russia. They just can't operate inside Russia any more as everybody has to sign contracts with the Russian MOD. Sounds a bit like the FFL. Wagner's offices inside Russia are supposedly open and signing up recruits, but whether it is for the "new" Wagner or the Russian Army is unknown, to me at least.
