The mood in Russia appeared to be calmer on Sunday, a day after the Wagner Group halted its advance toward Moscow and averted a possible confrontation with the Russian military.
The mercenary group led by Yevgeny Prigozhin marched to the outskirts of Moscow before Prigozhin warned that "the moment has arrived when blood could be spilt" and ordered his forces to turn back.
Nicknamed "Putin's chef," Prigozhin was once a close confidant of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the Wagner Group has been an indispensable part of Russia's military engagements in Ukraine and other parts of the world, including Africa and South America.
But Prigozhin's weekend rebellion against Russia's top military brass may have upended the soldier's fortunes.

..."The Wagner Group, a private Russian military force, halted their march on Moscow and retreated to their field camps in Ukraine to avoid shedding Russian blood, according to the head of the group, Yevgeny Prigozhin12. The group had been advancing on Moscow after Prigozhin called for a rebellion against the Russian army3."...
