He made a video this morning, responding to Putin, where he is completely downplaying what he has done and making it seem like it is a fucking parade, and not a insurrection.
At this point, I don't think Putin has any choice.
Either Prigozhin dies in conflict, or he is arrested, put on trial, and executed for treason.
Any other option and Putin loses some power in the eyes of the military and the people of Russia.
This looks more like troop movement cloaked under some planned psyop thing. The southern front appears to be under control, move wagner up (law of war: appear weak when you are strong), and prepare for the next front push
