TLDR Wagner returning to positions after deal is met with the Kremlin. Wagner will sign a contract with the Defense Ministry. All charges against Prigozhin will be dropped.

The trouble is a significant number of people outside Moscow either stood down and let Wagner through or actively joined their convoy.
Makes me think this was a test to see who’d defect.
I’ve wondered that, but I think really that’s more of an opportunity than a plan. Even then, it’s a sketchy one, given how much support Wagner apparently has.
