Everyone (except Putin) is saying Putin.

The plane was shot down over Russian airspace with a radar jamming missile.

Also, the top three members of Wagner were all on the plane, and there was no clear line of succession. Just a standing offer from Putin to roll the mercenaries into the regular army.
