  1. Prigozhin made deals within the Russian Kremlin to join their rebellion or sit it out and not interfere. At the last second the Kremlin had cold feet and wouldn’t join the rebellion, but would sit it out. Putin tried to crush the Wagner group instantly with ground troops, the Kremlin was slow to react; Putin knew at that moment he had trouble in the Kremlin. It became a stalemate between Vladimir Putin and Yevgeny Prigozhin‘s Wagner group to avoid a bloodshed that neither one would win politically. Prigozhin got to keep his mercenaries intact in Belarus with all charges dropped in Russia and Putin kicked out the Wagner mercenaries and made them Lukashenko’s problem.
