Putin's so screwed. He has to punish Prigozhin or otherwise he looks weak. He can't punish Prigozhin because he'll look like he doesn't keep his words with his own subordinate/oligarchs. Those people that keep him in charge and protect him surely have deals with Putin that are now worth nothing. They either think he's weak or unreliable. Either way, he can't be the leader anymore. Prigozhin won the coup attempt no matter how this plays out.
