Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) says it is dropping a criminal case against Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner Group related to the mercenary’s attempted rebellion in the country over the weekend, according to local media reports. Russian state news agency RIA Novosti says the case was dropped because “the participants had ceased actions directly aimed at committing the crime”. Russia’s defence ministry says the Wagner Group is preparing to hand over all its equipment after attempting to launch a revolt in the country over the weekend.

The head of Wagner Group has released his first statement since the group’s armed mutiny on June 24th. In an 11 minute audio recording, Prigozhin explained that Wagner was bound to be disbanded. He said Belarusian president Aleksander Lukashenko offered a solution for the group to continue working legally in Russia. He also compared his march to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – saying troops of Wagner’s level could have completed Russia’s special military operation in 24 hours. – Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera – Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ @AljazeeraEnglish #Aljazeeraenglish #News #wagner #prigozhin #putin #russia
Russian state news is reporting that the head of the Wagner mercenary group is under investigation. That is despite a recent deal granting him immunity after his forces took over military sites in southern Russia. The Kremlin had said Prigozhin agreed to go into exile in Belarus. And fighters who had not joined the mutiny would not be prosecuted for treason. Journalist Yulia Shapovalova joins us live from Moscow to discuss the latest updates.

Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu has visited Russian troops in Ukraine, the RIA Novosti news agency reports, his first public appearance since the weekend mutiny by the Wagner Group.

He also accused him of incompetence and corruption.

Ukrainian forces have launched several attacks on Russian positions – since Saturday’s mutiny. Some of the Russian forces had to leave their positions because of the attempted rebellion by Wagner group – but are starting to return to the front lines. The Ukrainian army is pushing south and east in what appears to be an attempt to take advantage of the instability in Russia.

Following Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin’s short-lived mutiny, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his government find themselves in unchartered territory. The crisis appears to have been averted, for now, but what happens next for Russia and the Wagner Group remains uncertain. The events, which began on Saturday, appeared to take everyone but the battle-hardened mercenary group by surprise. Wagner forces rapidly took control of Rostov, one of Russia’s largest cities, where they were met with minimal resistance from local security forces and occupied the regional military headquarters. They continued to march on Moscow before Prigozhin ordered his mercenaries to turn back 200km (124 miles) from the capital. He agreed to go […]
