Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has left Russia for Belarus as Vladimir Putin has dropped charges.
Reports in Russian media say charges against him and his Wagner forces will be dropped by Russian authorities to avoid ‘bloodshed’.
The leader of a Russian mercenary group left for Belarus Saturday tonight, with all charges against him dropped by President Putin after the coup was stood down.
Prigozhin will move to Belarus under a deal brokered by the Belarusian president to end today’s armed mutiny against Russia’s military leadership, the Kremlin said.
The Wagner boss and his fighters will also be safe from prosecution under the agreement, it added.
