If Prigozhin seizes power, we could well just see another Suharto, Amin, Franco, Pot, Pinochet, Musolini etc.

Civil War is also not peace. The last time civil war happened in Russia cost as many as 10 million lives. We could cheer on the end of war in Ukraine by something that leads into a much larger and more severe humanitarian crisis with far more civilian lives lost and another brutal dictator in power.

That's not even mentioning the question of what happens with all the nuclear weapons during that kind of turmoil.

I hope we see this lead towards the end of war in Ukraine, but I'm not cheering on a civil war or the rise of a new brutal dictator coming straight off the battlefield into power.
