ROSTOV-ON-DON: Mutinous Russian mercenaries who surged most of the way to Moscow have agreed to turn back to avoid bloodshed, their leader said on Saturday , in a de-escalation of what had become a major challenge to President Vladimir Putin's grip on power.
"Now the moment has come when blood could be spilled. Understanding ... that Russian blood will be spilled on one side, we are turning our columns around and going back to field camps as planned." "Today the world can see that the masters of Russia control nothing. And that means nothing. Simply complete chaos. An absence of any predictability," Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address.
Further along the road, video showed, vehicles apparently placed as barricades to slow Wagner's advance had been tossed to one side. One tank was wedged between stucco buildings with posters advertising the circus. Another had"Siberia" daubed in red paint across the front, an apparent statement of intent to sweep across the breadth of Russia.
