An armed uprising in Russia has come to an abrupt end after the head of the Wagner mercenary group ordered his troops to stand down. Yevgeny Prigozhin abandoned his attempt to overthrow Russia's military commanders after striking a deal with the Kremlin.
Wagner forces have now withdrawn from the southern city of Rostov-on-Don, where they earlier occupied the district military headquarters.
