MOSCOW — Rebel mercenary Wagner group begins pulling back fighters and equipment from the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, after its leader Yevgeny Prigozhin halted the fighters’ march on Moscow.
An AFP reporter at the scene sees a tank, several cargo trucks and several minivans carrying fighters leave the military headquarters the group had occupied earlier.
Wagner's fighters are already leaving Rostov to a rapturous reception, per a Prigozhin-affiliated Telegram channel. https://t.co/49JuhYve2A pic.twitter.com/9IRLPDMFQL
