I think you're mistaken, it is Putin who is the warmongering conqueror here, not Prigozhin.

If you think Prigozhin isn't a warmongering conqueror, you don't know much about him.

They both are. I'm late to this thread now, but the best case scenario for Ukraine would have been Prigozhin not backing down, Wagner getting wiped out, but the Russian military facing heavy losses, which would significantly hinder their ability to wage war.

And then maybe some other less warmongering oligarchs assassinating Putin
