Halted indeed was the immediate crisis, but not the underlying foundations that Prigozhin and Putin had laid long before.
“The oligarchic clan that rules Russia needed the war,” Prigozhin said.
Now, in theory, though he is beyond the long arm of Putin’s justice system, he could still be brandishing a powerful cell phone and laptop.
Indeed, Prigozhin’s Wagner Group seems to be the only force that’s winning at all methodically in Ukraine these days.
Russia is not winning this war that was supposed to be over in a matter of days or weeks more than a year ago.
