"At the initiative of the Qatari side, Vladimir Putin had a phone conversation with Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani... The Qatari leader expressed support for the actions of the Russian leadership in connection with the events of June 24,” the Kremlin said in a statement.
"His Highness Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani held a phone call today with Russian President Vladimir Putin. During the call, they discussed bilateral relations, the latest developments in the regional and international arenas, as well as in the Russian Federation. In this regard, the Emir wished Russia and its friendly people further prosperity and stability," the office of the emir said in a statement on its website.
The emir confirmed the position of Qatar, which "calls for resolving differences through dialogue and diplomatic means, settling international conflicts by peaceful means and refraining from any actions that would lead to further escalation on the ground."
On June 23, PMC Wagner Group's chief Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed that the Russian Armed Forces had launched a missile strike against Wagner camp. The Russian Ministry of Defense debunked these allegations, but shortly afterward, a contingent of Wagner forces seized control over several civil service buildings in Rostov-on-Don, and started a march on Moscow.
Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a TV address to the nation, dubbing Wagner head actions as armed mutiny and treason. Later in the day, Putin agreed to his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko's mediation with Prigozhin, which lasted throughout Saturday. As a result of the talks, Prigozhin stopped the movement of Wagner troops in Russia and ordered them to return to field camps.
