According to the Kremlin, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, will relocate to Belarus as part of a deal to end what appeared to be an armed coup against Russia’s military leadership. The agreement was brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko with the approval of Russian President Vladimir Putin. As part of the deal, criminal charges against Prigozhin in Russia will be dropped, and Wagner fighters involved in the rebellion will not face retribution. The details of any other concessions made to Prigozhin were not disclosed. Putin’s earlier threat of harsh punishment for the mutineers was reversed, with a promise that Prigozhin would not be harmed. Prigozhin and his forces managed to advance within 120 miles of Moscow before turning back to avoid bloodshed. The Wagner Group is a Russian paramilitary organization that has provided support during Russia’s military operation in Ukraine. Prigozhin became critical of Russia’s military leadership during Wagner’s engagement in Ukraine, accusing them of not providing enough ammunition.
