Can someone please explain what's going on ? I am out of the loop. I know Wagner was fighting for Russia but what happened now?

Everyone in Wagner was about to be conscripted into the regular Russian Army as the latest in an ongoing power struggle between Wagner's boss and the Russian MoD. So to avoid losing his private army, the boss has stepped up the power struggle to an attempted coup, basically.

The coup will be crushed, but it will weaken the Russian military even more and they lose their (now former) elite forces

Having Russia and its nukes controlled by a mercenary doesn't seem like much of a win, tbh. Not to say Putin's better, but I see more of a lose-lose, myself.
