2:29Now PlayingYevgeny Prigozhin, head of Russia’s private militia the Wagner Group, called off his mutiny after his forces advanced to within a few hundred miles of Moscow, defusing the biggest threat to Vladimir Putin’s grip on Russia in his almost quarter-century rule.
Prigozhin’s forces had faced little resistance Saturday as they advanced from southern Russia toward the capital after the mercenary chief vowed to punish Russian military leaders, saying Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu had orchestrated a missile attack that killed “huge” numbers of his fighters.
Putin denounced the rebellion in a televised address on Saturday and promised harsh punishment for those involved, who he accused of treason.
