    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    But in hell we will be the best,” commented Yevgeny Prigozhin, discussing his attitude to death in an undated interview that was published last night on the pro-Wagner Grey Zone Telegram channel.

    Then, under circumstances that are still unclear, Prigozhin halted his rebellion some 125 miles (200km) from Moscow and was supposedly forgiven by Putin (who the day before had stated that all traitors would be punished).

    Although Prigozhin had reportedly drawn up contingency plans on who should take over the group in case of his death, the presence of other key Wagner members on the plane suggests that the organisation has been all but decapitated.

    What is interesting here is that Prigozhin, Utkin and other senior Wagner commanders appeared to feel confident enough of their safety in Russia to ignore the golden rule of leaders of any important organisation – which is to not travel on the same plane.

    The death of Prigozhin also happened the same day that Sergei Surovikin, who disappeared in the aftermath of the aborted June rebellion, was officially relieved of his duties as airforce commander.

    The people who gave the order do not understand the mood in the army.” Other Wagner-affiliated channels are threatening a second rebellion, but at the time of writing it is hard to tell how much credence to give them.
