Prigozhin said his fighters had advanced to within 200 km (124 miles) of Moscow in the last 24 hours.

Wagner chief says he ordered his Russian mercenaries to halt march on Moscow

By The Associated Press

The head of the Wagner force said Saturday he has ordered his mercenaries to halt their march on Moscow and retreat to their field camps in Ukraine to avoid shedding Russian blood.

The announcement from Yevgeny Prigozhin appeared to defuse a growing crisis. Moscow had braced for the arrival of the private army led by the rebellious commander. And President Vladimir Putin had vowed he would face harsh consequences.

Prigozhin said that while his men are just 200 kilometers (120 miles) from Moscow, he decided to turn them back to avoid “shedding Russian blood.”

He didn’t say whether the Kremlin has responded to his demand to oust Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. There was no immediate comment from the Kremlin.

The announcement follows a statement from the office of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko saying that he had negotiated a deal with Prigozhin after previously discussing the issue with Putin.

Prigozhin has accepted Lukashenko’s offer to halt the Wagner group’s advance and further steps to de-escalate the tensions, Lukashenko’s office said, adding that the proposed settlement contains security guarantees for Wagner troops. It didn’t elaborate.

However, the latest news that comes out of Moscow is not looking good as Putin’s presidential planes took off from Moscow!

For the first one, we have official confirmation:

There are local reports that he was turned away from the Kazakhstan airspace:

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday spoke to his Belarus ally, President Alexander Lukashenko, in his first international phone call since a mutiny by Wagner mercenaries inside Russia.

“The president of Russia called the president of Belarus this morning, there was a phone conversation,” Belarusian state media reported.

“Vladimir Putin informed his Belarusian colleague about the situation in Russia.”

Lukashenko, who allowed Russian troops to use Belarusian territory as a launchpad for their Ukraine offensive, has remained Putin’s closest ally.

The Kremlin later said Putin also spoke to the president of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, and the president of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

“The president informed them about the situation (in Russia),” Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies.

According to Kazakh media, Tokayev told Putin that events in Russia were an “internal affair,” and Putin thanked him for his “understanding” of the situation.

I had my doubts about Priogzhin after learning that he was a convicted criminal in the Soviet days.

And he also possibly a member of the tribe.
 
Maybe more of a power play by a faction inside Russia than a coup? If the Defense minister and chief of staff are gone that was probably it.
 
Prighozin is going to Belarus. No prosecution for his men. That is the official Kremlin story.
 
Too confusing , ya got the KGB ( putin) , the russian nazis ( wagner rusich ) , ya got ukranian nazis , bidens. I find it a shame any of 'em are still around.Maybe I could cheer for the new team , this is as bad as a patriots - raiders playoff game in the snow and winner gets the cowboys , i want them all to lose.
