On June 25, the "anti-terrorist operation regime" remained in effect in Moscow, a day after the rebel Wagner mercenary group threatened to storm the Russian capital.
The Kremlin announced on June 24 that Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led the uprising, will travel to Belarus following an agreement brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
Prigozhin's whereabouts remain unclear, but Moscow has said charges of "armed rebellion" against him will be dropped and his fighters will not be prosecuted.
Anti-terrorist measures were imposed in Moscow on June 24, as Prigozhin's forces were about to enter the capital, with authorities ordering residents to limit their movements. Moscow authorities also announced that a one-day holiday to restrict movement around the city on June 26 would remain in place for security reasons.
Earlier in the day, Rostov Region Governor Vasily Golubev said members of the Wagner mercenary group had left the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, along with leader Yevegeny Prigozhin.
