Highway restrictions were still in place in Moscow and the Tula region south of the Russian capital on Sunday morning, the country’s federal road agency reported, more than 12 hours after Yevgeny Prigozhin ended his armed uprising.
Video reports from Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency showed roads reopened around the headquarters of the southern military district, which Wagner had previously taken over.
Dmitry Peskov, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, announced on Saturday evening that Prigozhin had agreed to leave Russia for Belarus, after the leader of the Wagner paramilitary group launched the first coup attempt in Russia in more than three decades.
