Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin allegedly tried to call Putin en route to Moscow during his mutiny after 'realising he had gone too far' and that he did not have the support of the Russian army.
At around mid-day on June 24, while Wagner soldiers were on their way to Moscow from Rostov-on-Don, Prigozhin allegedly attempted to contact the Kremlin directly.
He 'tried to call Putin, but the president didn't want to speak with him', according to sources close to the Kremlin who spoke to media outlet Meduza.
These sources also believe that Prigozhin likely realised he had 'gone too far' and that his chances of advancing any further were 'dim'.

I think he was convinced Putin wasn’t interested in talking when he sent helicopters firing at the Wagner convoy headed to Moscow.
True that!
Prigozhin to Putin: Hey pal I am coming over for a visit.
Putin: No need, I am flying out to greet you and your men.
