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