Among those possibilities, officials say, are absorbing Wagner into the Defense Ministry or its military intelligence arm. The Kremlin could also install a Russian general or other government ally as its new chief, according to people briefed on the preliminary intelligence.
Officials stressed that the future of Wagner, whom Russia depended on as a parallel fighting force in Ukraine until it fell out of the Kremlinโs favor after a short-lived mutiny in June, was not at all clear. Still, U.S. officials said the Kremlin believes the organizationโs military prowess, experienced operators and ties to African governments are too valuable to give up or allow to wither away.

A plane believed to be carrying Mr. Prigozhin crashed on Wednesday, Russian, U.S. and European officials have said. U.S. officials said the plane appeared to have been downed on the orders of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, as revenge for Mr. Prigozhinโs aborted mutiny. He had sent a column of mercenaries toward Moscow in an attempt to oust the leadership of the Defense Ministry. U.S. officials believe an explosion aboard the plane, possibly a bomb, brought down the plane.
