Wagner Group Halts Advance on Moscow: An Unprecedented Display of Internal Discord

Russian mercenaries, the Wagner Group, halted their advance toward Moscow to prevent potential bloodshed among their fellow citizens.

The group’s leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, once an ally to President Putin, indicated his forces reached within 125 miles of the capital. However, after considering the potential for violence and loss, they withdrew their forces.

A video emerged demonstrating the group’s capture of Rostov, a southern city before they headed north. The footage also showed the military equipment they brought along, including tanks and armored trucks. As of Saturday night, they started withdrawing from the seized Rostov military headquarters.

Belarus Brokers Deal To Defuse Tensions

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, under Putin’s approval, brokered a deal to defuse the tensions. According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, the agreement stipulated that the criminal case opened against Prigozhin for armed mutiny would be dropped, and Prigozhin would relocate to Belarus. Furthermore, the Wagner fighters would face no legal action in recognition of their previous service to Russia.

Peskov explained the primary objective of the agreement was to avoid confrontation and bloodshed. Despite the deal, there were no public disclosures of any concessions made to Prigozhin apart from safety guarantees.

Internal Discord Exposes Turmoil in Russia

The lightning-fast insurgency from the Wagner Group, largely unopposed by Russia’s regular armed forces, raised questions about Putin’s control over the nation, even after the abrupt halt to Wagner’s advance. Prigozhin previously stated his march aimed at removing corrupt and incompetent commanders whom he blamed for the unsuccessful war in Ukraine.

In response, Putin stressed that the rebellion threatened Russia’s existence, and punishment would follow for those responsible for the insurrection. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy suggested that the developments demonstrated internal turmoil within Russia.

Prigozhin, who commands a substantial force composed of ex-prisoners recruited from Russian jails, has a long history of disputing with Russia’s top military officials. His recent actions could potentially disrupt Russia’s invasion force in Ukraine, especially as Ukraine has been launching its strongest counteroffensive since the start of the war.
