Wagner PMC Rebellion – The Day After: Prigozhin Won’t Face Charges, Will Exile in Belarus – Future of Defense Minister Shoigu Hangs in the Balance – Situation in the Front Is Unchanged
As suddenly as the tensions in Russia have risen, they now seem to have subsided, after a Belarusian-brokered deal was reached between the Russian government and rogue PMC Wagner CEO Evgene Prigozhin, that occupied cities and even sent a small force to ‘march’ on Moscow.
Kremlin says Putin acted “to avoid bloodshed and internal confrontation with unpredictable results.”
Prigozhin stated that he had decided to retreat to avoid “shedding Russian blood.”
The deal entails that Prigozhin will essentially be exiled in Belarus, and reportedly his PMC will patrol the frontier with Poland.
Wagner troops are heading back to their field camps in Ukraine, where they have been fighting alongside Russian Army soldiers.
