He called the organizers of the uprising traitors and stressed that they would face "inevitable punishment". However, the situation was restored after 24 hours. Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin decided to stop sending troops to Moscow, choosing a de-escalation solution and accepting a proposal from the intermediary, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Accordingly, Mr. Prigozhin went to Belarus while his soldiers would not be prosecuted, and gunmen who refused to cooperate with him could sign contracts with the Russian Defense Ministry.
