 Head of Wagner private military company Yevgeny Prigazin announced that the group have stopped advancing towards Moscow and will return to their military base. In an audio address published on his Telegram channel on Saturday, Prigazin said that he ordered his fighters to go back in order to prevent bloodshed. They wanted to outlaw Wagner. On June 23, we started Justice March. We reached 200 kilometers close to Moscow over the course of one day. During this time, we did not shed a drop of blood. But now the moment has come when blood can be shed. Realizing the responsibility of the possible shedding of Russian blood, we turned back our convoys and returned to our camps as planned, Prigazin said in his address. It should be noted that on June 23, Prigazin announced that a large number of Wagner fighters were killed following the missile attack on their position that was launched upon Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu's order. Following this, Prigazin announced that Wagner was en route to Russia with 25,000 troops to punish Shoygu and chief of staff of armed forces Valerie Jarazimov. Prigazin threatened that if Shoygu and Jarazimov were not handed over to him, he would follow them to Moscow.
