Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of the Wagner mercenary force, has withdrawn from Southern Russia and will not face charges after calling off his troops' advance on Saturday. This has eased Russia's most serious security crisis in decades. The Kremlin announced that Prigozhin would leave for Belarus, and members of Wagner who had taken part in what authorities termed an "armed rebellion" would not be prosecuted. The US and its allies publicly stayed on the sidelines as officials waited to see how the revolt would play out.
