Russia’s Wagner mercenary group founder, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has said the Kremlin’s justifications for invading Ukraine were based on lies.

My wild speculation is that Prigozhin marches in with token resistance, arrests Shoigu and reveals to Putin the deceit from the MoD, before taking his place at Putin’s side. He’s avoided being critical of Putin and says lies from the MoD are the reason for the war. Shoigu is the scapegoat.
