Listening to his videos (translated) it appears he is positioning himself with the West while cheering that he is a true Russian. Calls for Belarus to oust Lukashenko happening simultaneously along with his implication of Russian oligarchs in the Ukraine invasion as being purely a money-grab implies he's going for a small-Russia policy to appease/pacify the west while implicating Putin in a financial rather than patriotic or anti-Nazi purpose for the Ukraine war. He's in full-on propaganda mode.

That said, it's best not to interfere when your enemy is busy making mistakes (or, in this case, infighting). It sounds like Ukraine is already using this opportunity. I expect everyone outside of the theater to hold tight and see how things play out, (though I would not be surprised to find out that Five Eyes is feeding some additional intel to Wagner on anything interesting popping up in Moscow).
