Iran called the attempted armed rebellion an internal affair of Russia, expressed support for the rule of law in the country.

Wagner Group's veterans ordered to wait on high alert – Russian media

I am going to be glued to Kbin all day for this. This won't stop the Ukrainian invasion though, will it? It sounded like things will be continuing as they have but under a different leader. There's no real "benefit" to Ukraine in this, is there?

Actually, any new leader would likely leave Ukraine immediately. The war has been an overwhelming failure and embarrassment, and the new leader can blame the old leader for leading the country down that road.

Putin would leave too if he didn't think that admitting defeat would get him killed.

Without the Wagner group, Russia will have much lesser professional troops on their side. And this entire thing could also have a severe impact on the morale of the soldiers.
