The chief of Russia's Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has announced that he has agreed to halt his forces' movement inside Russia and take further steps to de-escalate tensions in an agreement brokered by Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko. The Wagner group boss earlier ordered his forces to march towards Moscow after unleashing a long series of videotaped remarks threatening to topple Russia's military leadership, which he blasted as having misled the country and Putin himself about the Ukraine war. The Wagner boss' actions drew an accusation of "rebellion" from Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier in the day.
