There were reports that President Putin had to be talked out of killing his former ally – the head of the mercenary Wagner Group Yezgeny Prigozhin, and that Mr Prigozhin had expected the Russian army to change sides to support him.

That’s according to the Belarus leader President Lukashenko who’s given asylum to Mr Prigozhin as part of the deal to end the revolt. He was speaking at a press conference yesterday. President Putin meanwhile tried to paint a picture of life returning to normal.

The Russian authorities said Wagner will be disarmed but its members will escape prosecution over its short-lived rebellion.
