Yevgeny Prigozhin's presumed death removes one problem, may create new ones for Vladimir Putin

The presumed death of mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in a plane crash benefits Russian President Vladimir Putin in the short term, eliminating a powerful figure who defied his authority. However, it also deprives Putin of a useful player who advanced Russian interests in conflicts like the Ukraine war and across Africa. The cause of the crash is still unknown, but there is speculation of vengeance for Prigozhin's previous mutiny. While the assumed involvement of the Kremlin may suit Putin's purpose, analysts believe it could lead to a struggle for control of Prigozhin's business empire.
