“The movement of units of PMC Wagner through the territory of Voronezh region has come to an end. It runs normally and without excesses,” Governor Alexander Gusev announced in his Telegram channel.

“After the final resolution of the situation, we will remove the restrictions imposed. We will inform you about this additionally, as well as about the measures that we will take to eliminate and compensate for the damage. I thank all Voronezh residents for their endurance, steadfastness and reasonableness, and all the law enforcement agencies and involved departments for well-coordinated work and professionalism,” Gusev further wrote.

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.
Late on the evening of June 24, Prigozhin announced that PMC Wagner was deploying its columns and leaving in the opposite direction to the field camps.
