Reports are that his plane was shot down in a rural area between Moscow and St Petersburg. It is the sort of thing Putin would eventually do.

However, what does it do to Wagner, and what does it say about Putin's hold on power? Running scared? A game changer?

There could be some high-ups and military commanders who might be thinking it wise to get rid of Putin before they too are eradicated.
