(Al Jazeera Media Network) Pavel Felgenhauer, a defence and military analyst, tells Al Jazeera that if Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin’s death is confirmed, that means the mercenary company is “decapitated.”
“Prigozhin was their political leader and financial backer, but also their main military commander. (Right-hand man Dimitry) Utkin was also on that plane,” he said.
He added that if the deaths are confirmed, then “that means they have lost their financial leader, their political leader, and their military leader at the same time,” and “they are decapitated.”
