Wagner boss Yevgeniy Prigozhin was branded a traitor by President Vladimir Putin. But after a brief rebellion, Prigozhin won popular support and lived to fight another day.
The change effectively demoted General Sergei Surovikin, who was appointed only in October to lead the invasion and oversaw heavy attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of Wagner and a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said his forces had captured all of Soledar and killed about 500 Ukrainian soldiers after heavy fighting.
