Not reading any news these days, sites like this are the few sources of news and analysis I feel I can trust. You’ve earned it. Thanks again.

.
and whatever Prigozhin’s actual position/authority within Wagner, i don’t think Putin can afford to have rogue generals running around shooting at Russian regulars and claiming they’re going to overthrow Moscow.
.
combine that with ( according to your characterization here ) Prigozhin blaming the regular Russian military for his own strategic fvckups, and Putin was obviously dealing with someone who could no longer be trusted, not just to act irrationally, but not even to act irrationally within his own established paradigm.
.
and if the reports of cases of cash within Prigozhin’s quarters are true ( and without Putin’s knowledge ), that’s out and out treason. so Prigozhin was a traitor who was violating his own voluntary exile less than a couple of months after “accepting” it. and that of itself is worthy of death. in addition to question of what he was doing in Russia that was so important to him that he was violating his exile.
.
otoh, you are correct that there are other people who had cause to not want Priggy running around anymore. if Putin’s exile agreement with Prigozhin was also predicated on Priggy leading a Wagner assault on Kiev from Belarus ( ie – triple cross ), then all sorts of Ukie and western intel groups would have cause to want him dead as well.
