PMC Wagner Group Halts March Towards Moscow As Belarusian President Brokers A Deal With Prigozhin

Russian media reported that Moscow has dropped all criminal charges against Wagner Chief, Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin. The leader said that he ordered his forces to return to their bases after the armed revolt. The chief said he ordered to retreat to avoid bloodshed, in a Telegram post.

On Friday, Prigozhin accused Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu of ordering a strike on Wagner camps in Ukraine, vowing to punish the leaders who destroyed "our lads".
