In my opinion, Prigozhin is done. How would you envision Putin installing Prigozhin anywhere and save face?

Yeah you may be right, I even hope you're right. But I don't think Putin cares about saving face in the west.

I would guess his biggest challenge would be keeping the Belorussian people in line. I know little about the country, I should probably read up!

I do not think he wants to save face in the west, but within Russia itself. But who knows 🤷

That's exactly right. I imagine Putin & his lackeys are very busy indeed right now. Just I would definitely not count him out like many articles seem to be.

Edit: spelling
