From what I understood, the aim of the mutiny was to oust one of the lower commanders. They got that, and Putin gets a score for both "stopping the terror against Russia, and being on good terms with allies of Russia" (in truly diabolical Russian sense), all with minimal bloodshed.

The article says that the general who people though might have been fired was still in command on television as of Monday.

There had been speculation that Wagner's march was cancelled in return for the general's sacking. However, footage aired on Russian TV on Monday shows him issuing orders for Ukrainian missile sites to be attacked.

He is heard discussing recent events, suggesting that the video was filmed after the mutiny.

The video suggests that President Vladimir Putin has kept both Mr Shoigu and Gen Gerasimov in their posts.

You're right, but even then the article says the video "suggests" they are still in their posts. Fuck, this situation is difficult to follow.
