This is just bizarre...what's the goal here? Putin already declared their acts as treason, how can he let this go unpunished? Is the Russian state really so weak that they have to forgive literal treason just to maintain power? What did Prigozhin gain from this? What about Kadyrov's movement towards Rostov, does he stand down as well? Was this all a weird performance?

Just...bizarre.

if we believe The Spectator: "there will be major changes in Russian Ministry of Defense leadership in exchange for Wagner halting its advance on Moscow". so yeah, they may have gotten veto power over this in exchange, which is a huge concession and would be an incredible indictment of how weak Russia is if true
