Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) - formerly known as the KGB - issued an arrest warrant for Wagner paramilitary group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin on Saturday. 

The warrant came as Prigozhin and his troops were marching on Moscow.

The revolt appears to have stemmed from the situation in Ukraine, where the Wagner group has been fighting alongside the Russians. Prigozhin has repeatedly attacked Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, whom Prigozhin says has lied to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the Russia-Ukraine war.

Prigozhin also accused Russia's Ministry of Defense of attacking and even killing Wagner group soldiers. And so, on Saturday, Prigozhin - clearly fed up with the situation - set Moscow in the Wagner group's crosshairs.

The arrest warrant

As the Wagner group was heading to Moscow, the FSB released an arrest warrant for Prigozhin.

"Prigozhin’s statements and actions are in fact calls for the start of an armed civil conflict on the territory of the Russian Federation and are a stab in the back of Russian servicemen fighting pro-fascist Ukrainian forces,” the FSB said in a statement.

It continued, “We call on PMC fighters not to make irreparable mistakes, to stop any forceful actions against the Russian people, not to carry out Prigozhin’s criminal and treacherous orders, and to take measures to detain him."

The Wagner group did not do as the FSB said.

But, Prigozhin did end up calling off the attack on Moscow.

A deal is reached

Prigozhin called the attack off after a deal was brokered between Russian and Prigozhin by Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko. Fox News reports:

"Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Lukashenko had offered to mediate, with an agreement from Russian President Vladimir Putin, because he had known Prigozhin personally for around 20 years."

Reports indicate that, in exchange for calling his attack on Moscow off, Prigozhin received "security guarantees" for Wagner group soldiers.

In addition to this, the Washington Post reports that the charges against Prigozhin have been dropped and that Prigozhin will be "exiled" in Belarus.

Per the Post: 

The Kremlin will not prosecute Prigozhin for the troop advancement, and the Wagner boss will go to Belarus, presidentialspokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters Saturday. The guarantee that Prigozhin will be able to go to Belarus is based on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s word, according to Peskov.

Russia is now trying to claim that 15 Russian troops were killed by Wagner forces during Wagner's brief revolt. This information, though, has yet to be confirmed.
