Experts have told The U.S. Sun that Prigozhin was on "borrowed time" ever since the failed coup and that whether or not he is confirmed to have died in Wednesday's plane crash, it spells the end of the Wagner Group as an independent fighting force.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, Dmitri Alperovitch, chairman of the Silverado Policy Accelerator, a U.S. bipartisan non-profit policy institute, explained the Wagner Group was effectively "done" as a fighting force. "If it is indeed true, as reports suggest that it was not just Prigozhin who was on that flight, but the entire Wagner command leadership, that means that Wagner as an organization, as a fighting force is done. It is gone," Dmitri said.
"And that has broad implications. None of them are particularly good for Russia because they can no longer use them in Africa where they've been very successful at spreading Russian influence and locking up natural resources, supporting dictators, and orchestrating coups. "It also means that any future desires that Russia may have had about using the Wagner troops in the offensive in Ukraine are also now out of the question."
