"The column of PMC Wagner left Rostov and is headed to their field camps," Golubev said on Telegram shortly after midnight.
A Sputnik correspondent reported late on Saturday night that Wagner members had started to leave the territory of the headquarters of Russia's Southern Military District in the city of Rostov-on-Don and the situation in the city was calm.
Earlier in the day, the Belarusian presidential office said that PMC Wagner head, Yevgeny Prigozhin, had accepted Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's proposal to stop the movement of Wagner troops in Russia and take further steps to de-escalate the situation. Prigozhin later confirmed the information, saying that Wagner troops were returning back to their field camps.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Saturday evening that the criminal case against Prigozhin would be terminated and he would leave for Belarus under guarantees given by Putin. He also noted that the Belarusian president's efforts in talks with the Wagner Group were aimed at reaching the "highest goal" of avoiding an internal confrontation in Russia. Peskov added that the events will not affect the progress of Moscow's military operation in Ukraine.
