One of my favorite Ukrainian journalists mentioned that she’d heard Prigozhin had instructions to march on the Kremlin in case of his untimely death. She emphasized that it was more of a rumor than anything else, but interesting if true.
A determined Wagner could topple Moscow, they aren’t entirely untrained meat grinder recruits like the Russian army. They’re trained, experienced, and moderately well equipped. Plus Russia is not capable of maintaining ground in Ukraine, keep Wagner out of the central oblasts, and keeping its chains on the chechyns, the kazaks, and the Belarusians, all at once. We’d see a second collapse of Russian command over the region and Russia would be reborn even smaller again.

Why would they do it? They’re mercenaries. What’s the economic incentive of committing a suicidal attack?
