Prigozhin: The day Wagner chief went rogue in 96 seconds
The boss of Russia's Wagner group has said on his Telegram channel that he has agreed to stop the advancement of his troops towards Moscow.
In a surprise move, Yevgeny Prigozhin said his fighters were returning to field camps in Ukraine and did not want to "spill Russian blood".
Hours earlier, he had called for a rebellion against the Russian army.
In response, President Vladimir Putin had pledged to punish those who had "betrayed" Russia.
