Kremlin Chaos: Prigozhin Double-Crossed by Putin Amid Mutiny

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the former Putin confidant who led an insurrection against the Russian military, announced a negotiated settlement that would allow him to walk away peacefully. However, the Russian authorities leaked that the agreement was already broken, and Putin confirmed that the "organizers of this rebellion" would "be brought to justice." Prigozhin was granted amnesty and allowed to head into exile in Belarus, but the investigation into the mutiny was ongoing, and he could face 20 years behind bars. Putin's reputation as a strong man suffered a decisive blow this weekend.
