Wagner | The group’s chief, Yevgeny Prigogine, halted Operation Moscow and ordered his “mercenaries” to withdraw. After which there is news that the areas where Prigogine’s fighters had reached, they have started evacuating those areas. Prigojan called the end of Operation Moscow to prevent “bloodshed” and ordered his troops to return to their field camps in Ukraine. But, will Vladimir Putin be able to forgive the Wagner Chief? Wagner Chief Prigogine not only challenged the power of the President of Russia within just 12 hours, but also made him look helpless. It was a rebellion against the Russian President, which has tarnished Putin’s reputation and strong image.
The deal between Wagner Chief Yevgeny Prigogine and Russia is brokered by Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, who is considered Putin’s right-hand man. This agreement took place when Prigogine’s troops had reached only 200 kilometers from the Kremlin. The Kremlin has said that Prigogine, head of the Wagner Group, will move to Belarus and will not be prosecuted. According to a Kremlin spokesman, President Vladimir Putin agreed not to prosecute Prigogine and his forces because his “highest goal” was to “avoid bloodshed and internal conflict with unpredictable consequences.”
Earlier, the office of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced that he had negotiated an agreement with Prigogine to prevent Wagner from escalating to Moscow and to reduce tensions and take the next step. The statement noted that the proposed agreement included security guarantees for Wagner troops, although it did not elaborate on whether Prigogine’s demand for the removal of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu would be met.
