Is there a source for the personnel switches?Bits of information of the aftermath but cannot confirm.
Prigozhin will pay compensation to the families of the lives of the helicopters and planes his coup forces shot down including those on the transport.
One story is true is that the killed pilot of the Ka-52 the coup forces shot down was a father of a month old new born.
Prigozhin has lost contracts with the MoD and with that, he is under strong financial pressure (don't bite the hand that feeds you.)
Wagner was estimated to be about 32,000 but only 4,000 joined the coup. Only one commander joined the coup the rest didn't.
One story is true is that Wagner has started recruiting again. At this point we can assume that Wagner has split into two groups. Those who stayed in Russia and didn't join the coup will get MoD contracts, and those who left with Prigozhin to Belarus whose financial future will be in limbo.
One thing that's true is that a new law has passed prohibiting convicts from signing with PMC, which means Wagner can no longer sign in prisoners. Convicts however can still volunteer and sign, but their contracts will be directly with the MoD.
The guy replacing Shoigu will be the governor of the Tula Oblast but so far Shoigu is still doing his duties, perhaps until a date is set. As for Gerasimov, his position will be replaced by Surovikin.

Please provide source for Shoigu and Gerasimov getting ousted and replaced.
Usually, aren't military leaders generally rewarded after pacification or suppressing a rebellion? Their replacement doesn't make sense.
