I think Putin is getting ready to pull back and is cleaning house of anyone who could overthrow him in the inevitable chaos of defeat
My first instinct is Prigozhin is full of it and jockeying for position if Putin loses his grip but that's very much just a guess. It'd be one hell of a gamble so I am probably wrong.
EDIT: I guess more likely is he's going for Shoigu's position giving how the war has gone but Putin seems to be backing Shoigu for now. I guess we'll see.
I think this is wishful thinking. Putin might be preparing to the eventual defeat, but not for pull back.
