We turn our columns around and head back to the field camps as planned. This was announced on June 24 by the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin.

“They wanted to disband PMC Wagner. On June 23 we went on a march of justice. In a day we walked, 200 km short of reaching Moscow. During this time, we have not shed a single drop of the blood of our fighters. Now is the moment when blood may be shed. Therefore, realizing all the responsibility for the fact that Russian blood will be shed on one of the sides, we deploy our columns and leave in the opposite direction to the field camps according to the plan,” he said.

On June 23, statements appeared on the Telegram channel of the PMC Wagner that an air attack had been carried out on the PMC. The blame was placed on the Russian military leadership. Wagner Head Yevgeny Prigozhin promised to "restore justice." The Russian Defense Ministry denied the attack allegations, and the Federal Security Service opened a criminal case against the Prigozhin on charges of inciting an armed rebellion.

Prigozhin later said he had taken control of Rostov's military facilities, including the airfield. Later, there were reports that all key facilities in Voronezh were also taken under the control of PMC Wagner.
