The leader of the Wagner militia, Evgueni Prigojine, decided to engage his troops in an armed insurrection against the military power in place in Russia. At the end of the afternoon, Saturday June 24, he decided to stop his operation.

His rebellion lasted less than 24 hours. Evgueni Prigojine announces, at the beginning of the evening, Saturday June 24, that his men stop their march on Moscow (Russia) and return to the battlefield. In the morning in Rostov (Russia), tanks invaded the streets and public buildings. The Wagner group says they took possession of the city without a single shot. Part of the population tried to flee. The trains were stormed, as Wagner soldiers rolled towards Moscow.

Moscow has barricaded itself

According to several witnesses, clashes broke out. On the road, improvised roadblocks, made up of trucks filled with sand, were forced. To halt the rebels’ advance, trenches were hastily dug in the roadway, in the middle of the highways. Moscow has barricaded itself, surrounded by the military and dozens of checkpoints. “I hope it doesn’t come this far”, confided in the day a resident. The end of the mutiny was first announced by the Belarusian president. In the evening, the backstage of the turnaround is still unknown.
