The Federal Security Service, or FSB, said the case won't be pursued because Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner Group fighters "ceased (criminal) activities," ending an insurgency that revealed deep cracks in Putin's authoritarian rule. The criminal investigation into a popular mercenary leader and thousands of his troops was formally closed Tuesday in the wake of their 36-hour armed revolt, which Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged brought his country to the brink of "civil war." WILL PUTIN KEEP HIS GRIP ON POWER? Coup attempt dials up pressure over Ukraine war Insurrection pushed Russia to the verge of war, Putin says ◾ Limited Ukrainian progress east of the village of Krasnohorivka in the Donetsk province represents one of the first times in the war when Kyiv's forces have retaken territory claimed by Russia since 2014, the British Defense Ministry said. It was not immediately clear what role Prigozhin's troops, thought to number up to 25,000, will play in the war going forward. ◾ Heavy equipment from Prigozhin's Wagner Group is being transferred to the Russian military, the Defense Ministry said Tuesday. He urged NATO to strengthen its eastern flank. ◾ The relocation of Prigozhin and possibly thousands of his troops to Belarus is a "negative signal" for Poland, President Andrzej Duda said Tuesday. Prigozhin, 62, has not made a public appearance since Saturday. ◾ Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko on Tuesday confirmed media reports that Prigozhin had arrived in the country. ◾ Two Russian strikes in the Donetsk province city of Kramatorsk killed three people, including a child, and wounded at least 42, the City Council said. The city is controlled by Ukraine but close to areas occupied by the Russians, who probably covet it for their aims of westward expansion in the region.
Kramatorsk, the provisional seat of the Donetsk province, has been targeted several times during the war, including an April 2022 attack on the railway station that claimed 63 lives. "All I see is destruction, fear and horror."

"None of the glass, windows or doors are left," a bystander named Valentyna, 64, told Reuters. The State Emergency Service said two cranes were required to remove rubble and search for survivors amid the smoky ruins of the restaurant and nearby buildings, where 42 of the 47 injured in the attacks were found. "Each such manifestation of terror proves over and over again to us and to the whole world that Russia deserves only one thing as a result of everything it has done – defeat and a tribunal," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. Russia’s latest assault on Ukrainian civilians came as the shock of the weekend’s failed insurrection by a mercenary outfit began to diminish and the horrors of war again took center stage. The death toll climbed to four – including a child – Tuesday after Russian missiles struck a crowded pizza restaurant in downtown Kramatorsk and a suburb of the eastern city, leaving 47 people injured.
