 The Russian mercenary group known as the Wagner Group has threatened a rebellion against the Russian Defense Ministry. The Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Pregozhin claimed that Russian soldiers attacked a Wagner camp in Ukraine. In retaliation, Pregozhin began his, March of Justice, towards Moscow and on the way there, took control of the military headquarters in Rostov on Don and Voronezh. Shortly before reaching Moscow, Pregozhin negotiated with Putin to back down in order to avoid a possible civil war and criminal charges against his troops. The mercenary chief himself agreed to flee to Belarus.
