Wagner head says group standing down after claims of deal
1. Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin says he is turning his forces around from a march toward Moscow shortly after the Belarusian government claimed President Alexander Lukashenko had reached a deal with Prigozhin to halt the march.
2. Previously, Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to punish those behind an “armed uprising” after the head of the Wagner private military company launched an apparent insurrection, claimed control of military facilities in two Russian cities and warned his troops could head for Moscow.
3. Prigozhin on Friday accused Russia's military leadership of killing his fighters in a strike on a Wagner camp, which the Russian defense ministry has denied.
4. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia's "weakness" has been exposed, with a Ukrainian defense spokesperson calling it a "sign of the collapse of the Putin regime."
