Russia has dropped the criminal case against Prigozhin, and soldiers involved in the mutiny will go unpunished.

The Kremlin Drops Criminal Case Against Yevgeny Prigozhin

The Kremlin has made a stunning announcement on Saturday. They are dropping the criminal case against Yevgeny Prigozhin, the owner of Russia’s notorious Wagner paramilitary group. This decision comes after Prigozhin accused Russia of attacking his forces in Ukraine and even threatened to overthrow Russia’s Ministry of Defense.

In a remarkable turn of events, Prigozhin swiftly mobilized his forces from Ukraine and made their way to the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. There, they seized control of Russian military headquarters before embarking on a journey that would take them hundreds of miles north towards Moscow.

However, their march towards the capital faced an unexpected obstacle. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, intervened to halt the mutiny.

Prigozhin allegedly issued an audio message on his Telegram account, ordering his forces to halt their advance and retreat. This decision came as the Russian government deployed heavy military assets on the streets of Moscow to prevent his uprising.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitri S. Peskov revealed on Saturday that Russia’s notorious Federal Security Service (FSB), formerly known as the KGB, is dropping the criminal charges against Prigozhin. Additionally, the soldiers who participated in the rebellion will not face prosecution due to their service in Ukraine.
