Wagner chief Veygeny Prigozhin will be moving to Belarus as part of a deal reached with Russian President Vladimir Putin to halt an impending march on Moscow.

While the Wagnerites were attempting to carry out a rebellion in Russia, the Armed Forces of Ukraine killed 720 Russian occupiers and destroyed six tanks and five multiple-launch rocket systems at the front.

The bodies of two more people have been found under the rubble of a building in Kyiv's Solomyanskyi District hit by the fragments of a Russian missile in the early hours of June 24, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported on Telegram on June 25.

Despite Russian President Vladimir Putin's vow to crush the rebellion, Yevgeny Prigozhin's forces are on the move toward the Russian capital.
