Grozev:  Prigozhin now officially throwing the gauntlet at Shoigu. There's no off-ramp from this.

Kasparov, quoting and replying, rt'd by Grozev: Prigozhin will not be the only one preparing a private army to defend his interests when Putin falls.

Ragozin, quoting Arestovych: "Putin is screaming for negotiations because the mood in Russian society is changing and he’ll be toppled sooner rather than later." 

Analysis which likely reflects the thinking behind Ukraine’s current uncompromising position. 

No signs of that IMHO.

Looking forward to nuclear blackmail by the competing warlords of the failed Russian state.
