General Prigozhin, head of the Russian mercenary army, leading the attack on Ukraine, is accusing Putin of starting the war to enrich himself and the oligarchs. He is now in open rebellion with Putin and the Russian military.

 You may recognize the name….

Mr. Prigozhin, a St. Petersburg restaurateur who leveraged his personal connections with Mr. Putin into lucrative government contracts, gained international prominence after his online “troll factory” interfered in the 2016 American presidential election, to help elect Donald Trump, and after his Wagner fighters were deployed in Syria.

For months the Russian war effort has been hampered by the bitter feud between Mr. Prigozhin and top military leaders, whom he has accused in scathing terms of incompetence in conducting the war. He has asserted that Russia’s top brass have refused to provide Wagner forces with needed ammunitioneven as they fought alongside the Russian military for control of the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.

But never before had Mr. Prigozhin accused Russia’s military leaders of attacking his forces, nor asserted in such stark terms that the Kremlin’s stated justification for the war was nonsense.

Stay tuned, this should be very interesting.
