I didn’t think Prigozhin would be this stupid. He is decisive, relentless and has good leadership skills but clearly he has piss-poor judgement. What the hell is he thinking!
This SHOULD not affect the Ukrainian war.
All those forces have their existing leaders and are under no threat from the rebel.
UNLESS he seizes the logistics infrastructure in Rostov.
That scenario could completely turn the war.

I also have no idea what his plan is, but one possibility is to carve out his own statlet. Why gamble on a push to Moscow when taking the Rostov region gives him control of Russia’s oil and gas exports.
He can set himself up as the warlord of that region. The Russian Army in its current state could do little to prevent it.
