Listen to Putin’s speech on the matter. He praised the Wagner group for their bravery, and highly successful operations in Ukraine. Keep in mind the Wagner group are “ legends” amongst many Russians due to their huge battlefield successes.

If you read Prigozhans statements, his actions were directed against the Russian military leadership, presumably Shoigu. He made accusations that the Russian military leadership had intentionally fired on a Wagner storm unit, killing many Wagnerites and simply not playing hardball with the Ukies.

Putting it all together: many Russians believe Ukraine should be steamrolled, use the full, unrestricted force of their military-flatten Ukraine - something Vlad has not done but may now be forced by public opinion to do.

Vlad is smart enough to know you don’t kill/ imprison a figure who is admired by many, that said, Wagner’s recruitment figures continue to increase.
