Mercenary Group Leader To Leave Russia As Kremlin Drops Case Against Him

Militia leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who turned his Wagner force against Moscow’s military leadership, will return to Belarus, the Kremlin announced Saturday, and the criminal case against him will be discarded.

“The highest goal was to avoid bloodshed, internal confrontation, and clashes with unpredictable outcomes”, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told the media.

Wagner fighters won’t face charges as a result of the accord, which was mediated by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Peskov noted.

Peskov went on to say, “We have always admired their valiant efforts at the front”.

“An agreement has been reached that Wagner will return to its bases”, Peskov continued, adding that non-rebel fighters would be permitted to formally join the Russian army.

On Saturday, Prigozhin called off his soldiers’ push against Moscow, pulling Russia back from its worst security crisis in decades.

The rivalry between Wagner Leader Yevgeny Prigozhin and Russia’s military top brass erupted on Saturday, with mercenaries seizing a key army post in southern Russia and then moving north to threaten Moscow.

Peskov also stated that it was out of the question that Wagner’s failed insurrection would have an impact on Russia’s campaign against Kyiv.

He added that Moscow was grateful to Lukashenko for his part in settling the conflict.
