Russia Rebellion Highlights: China says supports Russia in 'protecting national stability'

On Saturday night, heavily armed Russian mercenaries who advanced most of the way to Moscow halted their approach, de-escalating a major challenge to President Vladimir Putin's grip on power, in a move that their leader said would avoid bloodshed. "Understanding ... that Russian blood will be spilled on one side, we are turning our columns around and going back to field camps as planned" Wagner chief said. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that under a deal brokered by Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, the criminal case opened against Prigozhin for armed mutiny would be dropped, Prigozhin would move to Belarus, and Wagner fighters who joined his "march for justice" would face no action, in recognition of their previous service to Russia. The revolt started late Friday night when Yevgeny Prigozhin, chief of the Wagner private mercenary group, accused Vladimir Putin's generals of misleading the President into believing that Ukraine posed an immediate danger to the Russian Federation and therefore invading the nation. Thanks for tuning in, see you tomorrow with more live updates.
