On 24 June, counter-terrorism measures were enforced in Moscow and other Russian regions after private military company (PMC) Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed that his troops had occupied the building of the headquarters of the Southern Military District in Rostov-on-Don, demanding a meeting with Russia's defense chiefs. Belarusian President Lukashenko, a close ally of Putin, negotiated a deal with Wagner chief Prigozhin to stop the movement of the group's fighters across Russia, the press service of the President of Belarus reported. The negotiations were said to have lasted for the entire day. Prigozhin announced that Wagner fighters were turning their columns around and going back in the other direction, returning to their field camps. EPA/ANATOLY MALTSEV
