    It’s down to branding. Prigozhin is framing this as a fight against the military leaders who have deceived Putin and caused him to make mistakes, but he does not blame Putin himself and is leaving room for Putin to change sides.

    That framing aside, this is still a coup with the goal of overthrowing gov’t leadership by force.
