I agree it’s likely real. But purely theoretically, if Putin wanted to distance himself from something, this would be one approach. E.g. if Prigozhin commits a war crime and Putin can say, “What am I to do!? Revolting mercenaries!”
This is been modus operandi for Wagner and is the only reason they’re allowed to exist while the Russian law forbids private armies, it was Russia’s deniable involvement in various conflicts in Africa and the middle east
