Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has negotiated a truce between Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Russian military, which includes "security guarantees for the Wagner PMC fighters". Prigozhin had called for an armed uprising against the defense minister, and has taken responsibility for the potential of Russian blood being shed. The truce is a step towards de-escalating tensions, but it is unclear what further steps will be taken to ensure the safety of the Wagner PMC fighters.
