Exile to Belarus, if the early reports are any indication. And if he keeps opposing Putin from there, then I suspect Novichok might be in the cards.
It's sad to know that Birnam Wood didn't make it to Dunsinane.
I can't imagine that he's going to keep pestering Putin from Belarus. Prigozhin is a mercenary (you can say 'private military contractor' if you like - most of them do) who re-negotiated his contract. For all his yammering about 'patriotism' and 'not shedding Russian blood', he made a deal. He's going to retire to a palatial dacha on the outskirts of Minsk and live like the fat cat oligarch he's always wanted to be. His troops are going to sign individual contracts with the Russian military (translation: no punishment). I don't know what his safety guarantee is, but I can think he'd enter into this without one.
So - Prigozhin wins, his troops win, Ukraine wins. And the only one left with egg on his face is Putin.
