    Putin benefited from:

    1. Showed that the largest military group couldn’t complete a coup
    2. No longer need to justify the damage Wagner group done
    3. Shows Russian that he prefer to negotiate rather than bloodshed
    4. Shows international theatre that Russian troops are loyal, peaceful, and follow orders
    5. Identified disloyal government officials who sided with Wagner if any

    And the list goes on

    Wagner head got out of it and terrorisim accusations in the future

    I’m still thinking that it’s not over. Moscow still on high alert.

      This showed that they wouldn’t, at least under these circumstances, not that they couldn’t.

      I agree with all other points though.
