What he’s been saying is that the Russian Ministry of Defense has been lying to Putin. So I’d say this is Wagner and Putin working together to manufacture a face-saving pretext to leave Ukraine.
Edit: I see this morning that Putin is denouncing Prigozhin so, maybe not!
Same, though I epxect this to be more of a purge of - probably - the actual resistance within the army. Just like what Russia and others have been doing for centuries. Prigozhin already said in his speech he will return to the front once his cleanup is done. Who would do that unless they knew full well there were no consequences to be feared? And why would there be no consequences for something like this?
Very intriguing concept! If true it would be the first savvy thing Putin has done in a long while. Even though it would help Putin, it would help the Ukrainians much more, so I hope it’s true!

a rocket from behind started this, why would he not fear another? unless its scripted like you say.
