Putin hasn't done anything yet except flee to safety yet, he doesn't personally hold a gun in moscow to hold it as his own. A surrender would mean a civil war in wagner's favor. Currently not at that point of desperation but we are getting there. An interesting situatiuon nevertheless.

    Where does this information come from. All I've heard is the Wagner guys aren't heading towards Moscow and some deal was made involving the president of Belarus. Are there specifics that have been made public?

    Several news sites are reporting that part of the deal was for Prigozhin to go and live in Belarus. It's not clear whether he's supposed to take the Wagner troops with him, but there are questions about their loyalty to him now, since he may have set them up to be absorbed into the Russian army.
