On the one hand, it shows how precarious the situation is for Putin: Prigozhin was able to bully him into Wagner staying its separate PMC and probably another contract for Prigozhin (maybe paid for by Lukashenka) to keep the money flowing.
However it shows on the other hand how thuroughly Putin has broken the spirit of the russian people. A BBC commentator was speculating that Prigozhin was betting on others joining his “peaceful march”, but apparently too many russians are married to Putin’s propaganda.
From my understanding, the Wagner troops that didn’t rebel would be absorbed into the military, and those that did would have the charges dropped. That sounds like Wagner is over.
