The advantage of any change of regime is they will be able to end the war, pull out of Ukraine without losing face, this is Putins war not Prigozhin's and frankly the utter chaos a coup brings would make a quick end to the war at almost any cost an absolute necessity for whoever runs Moscow, outside the obvious nuclear risk there is no downside to any of this for Ukraine, it weakens Russia no matter who ends up winning or how it plays out, if Putin falls I can see Russia pulling out of the Donbas and just trying to hold Crimea, even that might be negotiable, a full withdrawal for and end to sanctions and western help
