"Yevgeny Prigozhin's Son Poised to Lead Wagner Mercenaries Amid Ukraine Conflict"

Pavel Prigozhin, the son of Yevgeny Prigozhin, has reportedly taken command of Russia's Wagner group, a mercenary organization. He is currently negotiating with the Russian National Guard over Wagner's involvement in the Ukraine war. The group's main combat elements are spread across several countries, and there has been no clear leader since Yevgeny Prigozhin's death in a plane crash. Some Wagner personnel are interested in rallying around Pavel Prigozhin as an alternative to the Kremlin-aligned Andrey Troshev. Yevgeny Prigozhin led an unsuccessful coup against Russian President Vladimir Putin in June and died in a plane crash in August.
