Tass, a media outlet run by Russia's government, reported Saturday afternoon that the criminal case against Prigozhin would be dropped.
In a series of Telegram posts, the news agency reported that Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, also said Prigozhin would "go to Belarus" and that Wagner soldiers would not be prosecuted.
Peskov also said he was unaware of any leadership changes in Russia's military and confirmed that Belarus' Lukashenko participated in the talks that led to Prigozhin halting his troops.
