An international relations expert says Yevgeny Prigozhin will be in danger after his attempted coup against Vladimir Putin.

The US Secretary of State says the mutiny by Prigozhin's Wagner fighters forced the Russian president into an amnesty agreement.

The deal halted Wagner's march on Moscow after two major cities had been seized.

Otago University international relations expert Robert Patman says Prigozhin will need to be wary after this failed mutiny attempt.

"Most people who cross Mr. Putin or perceive to cross him often don't survive to tell the tale, whether they're in the world of journalism or in politics. I think he'll be very concerned."
