Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed Saturday that he was turning his forces around from a march toward Moscow in what Russian President Putin called an "armed uprising." Follow for live updates.
I have read a rumor on Mastodon that it was resignation of Shoigu, amnesty for all wagnerites and a return to fight in Africa instead of Ukraine. Just a rumor though as the source was I think some Wagner Telegram or something which is sketchy to say the least. It sounds somewhat plausible, though even if true, I‘m not sure Luka could really guarantee any of that or Putin would not order them dead anyway.
“An agreement was reached on the return of PMC Wagner to their locations. Part of those who will wish to do so, will sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense — this concerns those who did not take part in the march, indeed, there were such formations which, from the very beginning, changed their minds and returned. They even requested to be escorted by the traffic police and other assistance in order to return to their permanent locations,”
What could the deal possibly entail that would make them immediately turn back? So curious

Edit: found another mention of the sketchy rumor so here is a link https://mastodon.social/@ParanoidFactoid/110600884157150573
Looks even sketchier seeing it the second time lol but we will see, if it can be confirmed it will show up in the news eventually.
Staying alive is a big motivator for most people.
