Doesn't seem like they like Prigozhin very much, and think he's a traitor.

Agreed.
The thing is that Prigozhin made some very strange videos the days before he decided to go out on his protest march. He smeared Russia and lied about the SMO. It felt treacherous, like he was taking the stance of the West. He behaved strange and erratic, some ppl compare it with PTSD, and that might probably be one of the answers. If it was planned with Putin, he would still not act that way or say things that undermined Russia's efforts.
...I sense that someone might have influenced him, and that there might be either a still ongoing power struggle, or that NATO/USA have people inside either the Kremlin or military leadership. But this is obviously only a "hunch" and speculation, nothing I could prove. Anyway, the investigation continues, so maybe we will find out more.
