Putin's supposed to deliver remarks regarding the Wagner group and the short rebellion. I suspect he will spin it and make himself look like both the victim and hero.
Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday blasted organizers of a weekend revolt, the gravest threat yet to his power, as traitors who played into the hands of Ukraine’s government and its allies.
Speaking in a stern tone and looking tired in a five-minute TV address near midnight, Putin sought to project stability. He tried to strike a balance between criticizing the uprising’s perpetrators to prevent another crisis, and not antagonizing the bulk of the mercenaries and their hardline supporters, some of whom are incensed at the Kremlin’s handling of the situation. -snip
"Strong daddy" and heroic figure to many on the Right (at least here in the US) not looking so strong these days.
Wagner's apparently being dismantled. That's Putin's strongest and most successful military arm going bye-bye
breaking new:s: every soldier from wagner group has accidentally fallen out the same hospital top floor window. Stack of dead bodies over 50 meters high. Terrible freak tragedy

"Prigozhin gets to stay alive, at least for the moment, but his life as he knew it (and maybe in any sense) is over. Putin, however, is now politically weaker than ever. The once unchallengeable czar is no longer invincible. The master of the Kremlin had to make a deal with a convict—again, in Putin’s culture, among the lowest of the low—just to avert the shock and embarrassment of an armed march into the Russian capital while other Russians are fighting on the front lines in Ukraine." -Snip

Putin's veneer as the undisputed ruler and master of Russia has taken a hit, as a rather large and powerful military force (of mostly Russians) was less than 125 miles from his capital, they were staging a coup and he had to go into hiding before a deal could be struck.
Just a matter of time until someone takes him out, and not to lunch
