That's premature propaganda, along with the usual mind-reading. Putin has been handed an opportunity to show who's boss and he took it. The CIA/USA attempts to split the politics of Russia isn't going well.

Wagner is over.

Prigozhin's plan looks so much like Saddam's 2 x sons in law who got a bit too uppity, and fled to Jordan. I could not believe it when Saddam said "Okay, I accept your apology so come on home to Iraq" and they were getting ready to go. It was obvious that they'd be murdered. While they did have some armed defenders, it was obvious that Saddam could use as much force as needed. So he did. They were dead within a day or 3 of return. No surprise at all. I expected it. How could they not know that that lay in store for them.

Maybe Prigozhin really did think he was just having a dispute with the army, carefully explaining he was all in favour of Putin and continued government functions.

I doubt he's sitting happily in Belorussia in a disused camp. It's possible that he'd be used to conduct operations against Poland, Lithuania etc which are gearing up for Barbarossa II, but I guess he has passed his use-by date.
