Here is the latest on the standoff between Prigozhin and the Russian military.
The outlines of a #deal that appeared to #defuse a rapidly evolving #Russian security #crisis began to come into focus late Saturday, as the Kremlin announced that a Russian mercenary leader, who for nearly 24 hours led an armed uprising against the country’s military leadership, would #flee to #Belarus and his #fighters would #escape #repercussions.
The announcement capped one of the most tumultuous days in President Vladimir V. Putin’s more than 23-year rule in Russia and followed an apparent intervention by the leader of neighboring Belarus, who stepped in to negotiate a solution to the crisis directly with the head of the Wagner private military company, Yevgeny V. #Prigozhin, who was leading the revolt.
