I think a lot of people are completely missing the context.

putin is a gangster.
so is everyone else in a position of authority in Russia.

Shoigu tried to cut Prigozhin out.
Prigozhin leaned on the capo di capo.
Shoigu has been cut out.



Frankly, the BBC "analysis" is laughable. There are several factual errors, all important.
And they miss the key points that this is about two things.
Firstly, that Shoigu was giving Wagner stupid orders and undersupplying them.
But more importantly, the contract changes Shoigu ordered would effectively hand control of Wagner over to the Russian MoD at the end of the month.
