Wagnar boss WAS putins Chef. Is something else being cooked up here?

What if Putin was actually withdrawing? Take his 'elite' merc's & pull them back beyond border with a 'mutiny', maybe better than "russia withdraws" optics wise.
Don't get me wrong, I still stand that Putin went in to PROTECT & SAVE ruskies living on wrong side of line on map (80% voted ruskie in vote) and is same-same as line on map in poland in ww2 where germans were on wrong side of line.
