The Wagner Group has halted their march on Moscow after Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin reached a deal with the Kremlin, AP News reports.
Wagner fighters had advanced just 200 kilometers from Moscow before a deal was struck and Prigozhin ordered the withdrawal back to their field camps in Ukraine.
Prigozhin will leave for Belarus and charges of armed rebellion against him and his Wagner fighters will be dropped, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
The brief uprising revealed vulnerabilities within Russia as Wagner fighters advanced unimpeded toward Moscow.
The incident is also seen as a blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s image as a strong leader.
