Wagner putting end to the “march”, or as Russia calls it “Mutiny” (which did happen, we saw that), and in return Putin agreed upon demands like dropping the mutiny charges (case was opened on June 23, against Prigozhin following the march.) by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).
There might have been some other demands (which aren't yet disclosed). But it is clear, that the deal hasn't taken its full effects yet, as the charges against the mercenary group leader remains open.
Did Putin flee Russia? Where is Putin now:
•
Russian president Vladimir Putin, was rumoured to have fled somewhere from the Russia, in his presidential plane, according to various reports online in past 48 hours, but it is not conformed that he actually flee Russia or remains in the Moscow.
• Currently the whereabouts of both Russian president Putin and Wagner leader are unknown and a talking point for news headlines. The authority and command of Putin is also in question, as the entire scenario looked bad, for a so-called “superpower” to say the least.
Prigozhin future in Russia:
The mercenary group leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, who gave astonishing leads in Ukraine war for Russia, by taking control of the Bakhmut a city nicknamed “meat grinder”, is now under deep waters in his own motherland, all thanks to his “Justice March” or “Mutiny” (whatever that was).
Prigozhin on 23 June 2023 commanded his 5000 strong man (he has thousands more, the number is for the man who participated in the march) to take a march against the Russian military leadership, in Russia.

Prigozhin accused the military of bombing its positions deliberately. His group then, the following day, swiftly took control of a major military establishment in Russia, the headquarters of the Southern Military District in Rostov-on-Don, and kept the march going towards Moscow.
The heightened tension between the Wagner and the Russian leadership (including Putin, though Prigozhin did not utter anti putin words ever) was on display worldwide, then suddenly a deal was brokered by Belarus president, between the two, and the march came to an abrupt halt. Prigozhin ordered his troops to move back to camps, and Prigozhin moved to Belarus.
But the things aren't that smooth for the Prigozhin, and his future in Russia seems dark and muddled, as he remains under investigation by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), on suspicion of organizing an armed mutiny, the Russian Kommersant newspaper reported, citing an unidentified source.

Putin himself said that it was like a “Knife in the back of our people”, and that this will be dealt with. Putin in his address, after the events, used words like “betrayal.”
