On Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov addressed the media, focusing on the situation in Ukraine, humanitarian issues, as well as the current global agenda.
Sergey Lavrov, the nation's diplomacy chief, said that Yevgeny Prigozhin's attempted mutiny could be described as nothing more than a "tussle".

"Russia has always come out of any tussle — and this can hardly be called anything noisier than a tussle — even stronger," Lavrov added.

Lavrov also stressed that Moscow would deal with the consequences created by the events on its own.

"Russia has always come out of any predicament stronger. This will be the case this time. We feel that this process has begun … Thank you for your concern, but we will handle it," Lavrov told journalists.

The top diplomat stressed that Russia is not obliged to provide an explanation to anyone regarding its internal affairs, emphasizing that Moscow acts transparently.

Putin: Mutiny Organizers Wanted Russian Soldiers to Kill Each Other, Kiev Wanted the Same
On Friday, June 23, forces from the Wagner Group seized the headquarters of Russia's Southern Military District in the city of Rostov-on-Don, following accusations leveled against the Russian Ministry of Defense for allegedly striking the group's camps. Both the Russian military and the Federal Security Service denied these allegations.
On Saturday, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko revealed that he had spent the entire day negotiating with Yevgeny Prigozhin, as agreed upon with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As a result of the talks, the Wagner group leader accepted Lukashenko's proposal to halt the movement of his troops in Russia and take measures to de-escalate the situation. Putin guaranteed that Wagner group personnel would have the opportunity to sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, return home, or move to Belarus.
