Russia: Wagner mutiny nipped in the bud, Prigozhin to be exiled in Belarus | Oneindia News

The mutiny by Wagner group that had threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin’s authority has come to an abrupt end. What started on a very theatrical note combined with lofty statements actually came down to a meek conclusion. Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has confirmed that he has called off his troops’ march on Moscow and has ordered them to move out of Rostov. Yesterday, his troops seemed to be poised for Moscow after capturing key military sites in the strategically crucial city of Rostov. Under a deal brokered by Belarus, Prigozhin has agreed to leave Russia and move to Belarus. In turn, neither he will not face any charges…nor the Wagner troops who took part in the rebellion. Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko’s press office was the first to announce that Prigozhin would be backing down, saying that the office of the Belarusian President had negotiated a de-escalation with the Wagner head after talking to Russian president Vladimir Putin. However, Putin has not yet publicly commented on Lukashenko’s deal with Prigozhin.
