I guess that the rift between Prigozhin and Putin's military command was always going to escalate. Whilst the Wagner boss seems a nasty piece of work and a destabilized Russia ultimately benefits few, let's just hope that there is a significant enough battle between the two to distract them from Ukraine and that Zelenskys forces can take advantage of this to further push the Russians out. Could potentially be a game changer?
I think what is interesting is that Prigozhin has moved from not just criticising the Russian military command in its managing of the invasion to now actually questioning Putin's reasons for it. He now appears to be claiming that Putin misled the country and that Ukraine did not pose the threat he said it did nor did it need de-Natzifying and that it was a ruse for him to simply take over the country and install a member of his own close elite as a puppet leader. Could this then mean that Prigozhin will no longer support the war in Ukraine? If so, it is certainly good news for Zelensky-though very ironic given the war crimes carried out by the Wagner group!
He is probably the only Russian that comes close to even telling the truth about what's really happening.
Problem is the Russian people are too scared of the State police but they may rally at this opportunity.
Most likely their last chance to change.
Let’s hope the whole country implodes
All that talk about Putin being dead by now for ill health is looking like bunkum, as large as life on TV this morning.
Best chance of getting him is by an insider in Russia.
Putin has left Moscow and gone to his luxury palace .

Prighozin is now a dead man walking …. Putin is not going to forgive and forget this humiliation
Prighozin is a mercenary it's a money making scheme and Putin just quashed it to make him look stronger
Putin is no mug, acted quickly got **** done
I think Prighozin just got a load of money from the west and Putin
