      so that was preparation for landing with air support (S400, Bastion and landing all happened in the western tip of Crimea, Cape Tarkhankut)

    UK defence sources say that Russia’s FSB domestic intelligence agency (the successors to the KGB) are those most likely to have targeted Yevgeny Prigozhin’s plane.

    They are totally loyal to Vladimir Putin and also run the border force.

    The view is that this now probably strengthens the position of Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov, whom Prigozhin loathed and publicly criticised.

    This in turn is good for Ukraine as those two are considered incompetent.
