The head of the Wagner private army, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has called off his ‘march on Moscow’ after reaching a deal with the Kremlin which provides amnesty to him and his men.
“Now though the time has come when blood might be shed. Therefore, mindful of the responsibility that Russian blood might be shed by one of the parties, we are turning our columns round and moving off in the opposite direction, to the field camps, according to plan,” the Wagner chief said, justifying his decision to stand down.The revolt exposes Russia’s internal rifts at a time the Kremlin wages war against Ukraine.
“We warn Western countries against undertaking even the slightest attempts to use the domestic Russian situation to achieve their Russophobic goals,” the ministry said in a statement on Telegram. The Kremlin received support from the Iranian regime, perhaps the only Russian ally to openly back President Putin against the Wagner mutineers. “The Iranian side expressed support for the actions of the Russian leadership to ensure constitutional order,” the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed.
