I think it's pretty simple.
Wagner and the Russian Army are competing for increasingly limited supplies in Ukraine.
This led Prigozhin to complain publicly about the Russian Ministry of Defense.
In response, Putin was planning to subordinate Wagner to the Russian Army.
Subordination would remove Prigozhin from the chain of command and also remove his personal source of income. Which basically forced the events playing out today.
