The Kremlin orders the arrest of Yevgeny Prigozhin as Wagner rebels take control of military sites in Russia.

Prigozhin says Wagner Group is turning its convoys around.

They wanted to dissolve Wagner Group. On June 23, we set off on our “march of justice.” In the span of 24 hours, we got within 200 kilometers of Moscow. During the time, not a single drop of our fighters’ blood was shed. Now we’ve reached a point where bloodshed is possible. So, understanding the full responsibility for the potential shedding of Russian blood from either side, we’re turning our columns around and heading back in the opposite direction towards our field camps, according to plan.

    I don’t see how you’d ever be able to convince Prigozhin he’s not going to fall out a window, get novichok’d, or find some polonium in his tea after even daring to turn and march on Moscow.
