Russia rebellion: Wagner group stands down, Prigozhin to move to Belarus

Along with his troops, Wagner Group mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin vacated Russia's military HQ in Rostov-on-Don on Saturday evening.

The evacuation came only one day after the military group’s insurrection of the Russian city. A move President Vladimir Putin called a “betrayal.”

The group left the city and were headed back to their field camps, the regional governor said.

Prigozhin had earlier agreed to end a rebellion against Moscow's military leadership after mediation from Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

The Kremlin announced on Saturday that Prigozhin will be moving to Belarus as per the agreed deal.
