A military warlord has hinted at plans to replace Vladimir Putin, experts have said.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner Group and a prominent figure since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, conducted an interview with Russian reporters - which has now been published by his own Federal New Agency.
Analysts for the US thinktank Institute for the Study of War said the interview was "noteworthy for its unique format" and that "Prigozhin seemed to mimic the way that Vladimir Putin films his choreographed public meetings, either to mock Putin quietly or to suggest subtly that Prigozhin could become Russian president like Putin".
