    After pulling something like this, would you want to sit this close to Putin? He’ll probably secure himself someplace just far enough away to have lots of food tasters.

      That seat does come with some power. Prigozhin isn’t just some dude with an army he’s also an oligarch. If he had the military and some influential oligarch on his side Putin would be a sitting duck. Maybe both sides just got scared and didn’t like their chances of winning so called a “truce”. Was hopping this would create some chaos in russian troops so Ukraine could continue the offensive.
