According to some real leading lights on twitter it seems it was all part of a cunning plan to relocate numerous Wagner battalions 100km from Kiev.
They thought the people would welcome them in March last year. They didn't.
The Wagner troops got a better welcome marching the opposite direction.

Vladimir can't take this lying down surely. Fall down the stairs highly likely in Prigozhin's future.

Plane shot down more like it

Gary Kasparov tweet

Every possible reality and outcome is good for Ukraine, so be happy for that. Even if it's part of a charade, it reflects chaos among Ukraine's enemies, murderous energy turned against one another. Dictatorships are stable until they are not, hard but brittle like glass.

Why would the Ukrainians target him when it was obviously only a matter of time before Putin did it for them.
Also if they had the capability to reach this far into Russia, accurately enough to take out a private jet, I'd imagine he wouldn't have been top of their target list.

Media with links to the Wagner group are reporting that it was Russian military that shot the jet down (according to the BBC), which seems far more likely

Of course, the conspiracy theory is that he wasn't on board at all and that this was just a mechanism to "disappear".
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Could Wagner as an army now turn on Russia in retaliation?

Will it change anything?  Russia's invasion is still a big mistake.

From the BBC.

Grey Zone reports that a second business jet owned by Prigozhin landed safely in the Moscow region.

Apparently, he always has 2 of his planes flying to make it harder to identify which he was on.

why was he walking and flying around carefree for weeks

Why was he even in Russia?

I thought he was going to Belarus.

Strange that a man who staged a mutiny/coup would be in the exact place he was marching on and was unsuccessful
