You give too much credit to putin and prigozhin in terms of strategies thinking. Usually when things seem simple they are and in this case it's just short term vision by both sides and signs of weakness in both as well. It's really funny how some people try to spin this situation as "putin staged it all to draw Ukraine into a trap and to show his strength"
